[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple. Its third-tier because its a quality that can't be used to help anyone but the person who possesses that quality. Other qualities are seen as more important because they are good for humanity, community, family, etc.

It's not true that beauty is always unearned or paid for. Consider all of your friends who work out to keep fit and trim. And people who take the time to pick their clothing, makeup, etc. to look their best. Most people aren't gorgeous, but everyone can try to look as good as possible.

Beauty serves a very important function: It provides aesthetic pleasure. Being unable to appreciate another's beauty, feeling the need to denigrate their attractive appearance, signals a certain shallowness of feeling and perception.

Wisdom, patience and empathy are all of top importance when it comes to a person's depth. But that doesn't mean that in practical terms and daily life that beauty doesn't play an important role.[/quote]
