BEAUTIFUL/SEXY???

The way beautiful and sexy are being used interchangeably these days is really confusing and got me scared that some day, someone would see and beautiful baby and describe him/her as sexy. I decided to look up the dictionary for the definition of beautiful and got these two definitions from dictionary.com: Pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically; Of a very high standard; excellent.  
Synonyms:  handsome - lovely - pretty - fine - fair - nice.

Then I checked the same dictionary for sexy and got the definition as: Sexually attractive or exciting.

This tells me these two words are actually are actually different. To buttress this fact is a story of the advice given by the legendary boxer, Mohammed Ali to his daughter.

An incident transpired when his daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing. Here's the story told by his daughters.
"When we finally arrived, the Chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day. My father took a good look at us, then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said; 'Hanna, everything that God made Valuable and Precious in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find Diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find Pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find Gold? Way down in the mine, covered over and protected by layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get them.' "He looked at me with seriousness in his eyes. 'Your body is Sacred. You are far more Precious and Valuable than GOLD, DIAMONDS and PEARLS, and you should be covered too.' Satan is preaching the message of NUDITY today because he knows that if a man looks at a woman lustfully, he has had sex with her. Be careful how you dress.

With this I say, the choice is your to either be beautiful or sexy, having at the back of your mind that one is precious and valuable as against the other.
