Just to expand on everyone’s observations, it’s worth noting that evil can sometimes present as outwardly beautiful and seemingly ageless. In certain cases, individuals who exhibit narcissistic or emotionally detached behaviours may appear not to age as others do, potentially because they do not experience the same depth of emotions or empathy that often leaves its mark on the face. Similarly, individuals with wealth and access to advanced skincare treatments, cosmetic interventions, and superior nutrition often maintain a youthful appearance regardless of their moral character. On the other hand, a person of great virtue might endure hardships such as illness, poverty, or malnutrition, which can visibly age their face or distort their features.
That said, I feel the original idea carries partial truth in suggesting that patterns emerge with age. However, what these patterns signify is far more nuanced. I would personally view a face devoid of expression lines, particularly laugh lines, with some suspicion. Expressionless faces can hint at a lack of emotional engagement or lived experience, which might reflect deeper psychological or behavioural tendencies.
Ultimately, I believe moral and spiritual "patterns" are not reliably encoded in physical features, nor can they be universally interpreted. True impeccability, as a virtue, is better understood through actions and their tangible impact rather than through presumed external markers. To claim otherwise risks oversimplifying the profound complexities of human character and life experiences into unverifiable assumptions.
