Gorgeous sunsets always fade to dark. Rainbows dissolve into mist. Here in New England, autumn foliage gives way to naked branches.
Natural beauty is short lived.
This truism also applies to people. Young women are beautiful. Young men are handsome. But within a few years, their blooms of youth disappear. Does it mean they're no longer attractive?
It depends.
One kind of beauty can endure. It's called personality. Some individuals have personalities described as beautiful. They're like flowers seen against a background of green. Being around them uplifts us.
Other people don't have much in the way of personalities. They're green plants immersed in a mundanity of other greenery.
