Don't be so concerned with the packaging that you miss out on the content!
We as humans can be very superficial creatures. The easiest way to judge something is by the way it looks, but it is so easy to get it wrong. You don't have to talk to someone to think they are pretty. Beauty is something you can see. It is very easy to get caught up on external beauty to the point where we ignore the content. Just because something looks good doesn't mean that it is good for you. The opposite is true too, just because something does not look good does not mean that it is good for you. If we judge solely on the packaging of something we can end up with a pretty box that is completely empty. I for one would hate to end up in a situation like that. Parents know first hand about ugly packages, and no I am not talking about their kids. Have you ever seen a present that has been wrapped by a child? It can get pretty rough. The thing is that even though the package is ugly, the meaning and the content of that package far exceeds the rawness of the outside.
Don't be a beautiful package with horrible contents. Your only as pretty as you are on the inside. The old saying is still true today "don't judge a book by it's cover." Too many times have people missed out on wonderful things because they didn't like how it looked or where it was coming from. Even someone you dislike may deliver words that are meaningful and true. Don't get so caught up in the who that you miss the message, everyone is right about something at some point in their life. Even though we can't always change our outer package, we can always improve on our content. It is not always easy to see inside of a package, but at least make an effort to find out what is really inside. You may find something you didn't expect =)
