🌻 Everybody might like seeing beautiful things; a beautiful woman, a handsome man, a beautiful flower, a beautiful house, a beautiful... and the rest, so that people only look for its beauty.
Some of them even undergo "plastic surgery" to improve their looks to the utmost extent for the sake of BEAUTY, but yet no one can conquer the aging old and the final death.
Frankly speaking, no one likes to be with ugly things, I remember some children's stories, for instance, "The Frog Prince" (the brothers Grimm, Germany), "Beauty and the Beast"(Gabrielle -Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, France), etc.
Consequentially, all these things have turned ugliness into a beauty that is why we people are eager to seek out beautiful things deep in our hearts. In another sense, that writers might have wanted to expose a man's sinful desire that we people only aspire to pursue an outward look than an inner sideã…¡ the truth in it.
In the natural world, all categories of animals and plants have each of their natural enemy, such as a vulture preys on a snake preys on a frog preys on a fly, that is "the food chain." By the way, there are always much more "showy-colored animals" to "lure a decoy" or to "defend themselves" than other things such as a poisonous snake, a poisonous frog, a poisonous spider, a poisonous mushroom, a poisonous moth, etc., the more they have poison in them, the more they look like beautiful and showy.
It is not only animals but also plants. A few years ago, I took some of the poppy's seeds in the field in order to plant into a pot inside of a house, but unfortunately, it didn't even sprout well, at last, all was dead... , though I wanted to see its bloom so that I thought that it would not be proper to sprout or grow into the pot, for it was a different environment. The poppy's seeds were "excessively small ", and I saw its seeds for the first time in my life, somehow, fortunately, it was not the poppy for a drug.
At that moment, I was quite wondering about the poppy and its seeds that I took, for I couldn't differentiate which one was a garden flower because there is another poppy for a drug. After all, I discerned the thing which one was a garden poppy and which one was not, as the following:
 |
Garden | For a drug
 |
A poppy for a drug, looking closer, it looks like more overpowering
and has loud colors and a tough leaf.
 |
A garden poppy, it seems more fragile and more tender.
Similarly, the more they are showy, the more they have poison in them. Regardless, peoples adore and covet something showy and beautiful thingsã…¡its outward looksã…¡ than shabby things, they don't care even if it has poison in it.
I still remember the children's story, as I am writing this, that was "The Rose" and "The Cockscomb" that I read when I was 8~9 years old. It was very impressive, so that I may still recall it.
The cockscomb always adored the rose that every person loves. As we know, the rose will be the Queen of flowers; a white rose, a yellow rose, a dark reddish rose, a scarlet rose, a pink rose, such manifold colors also draw people's attention to roses. Further, people artificially transform its color and its DNA as they wish like plastic surgery.
The cockscomb feels sorrow for her unfortunate destiny as always, nobody likes her as much as the rose enjoys her popularity among other flowers and among people.
True be told, the cockscomb really seems like a reddish cockscomb of chicken the same her own name, "cockscomb", moreover she has no a soft floral leaf like silk, instead of it, has a strong and a rough floral leaf, hence she doesn't even look like a flower itself that is why butterflies don't even approach to her...
While, what about the rose? She has a captivating fragrance and has a silky floral leaf, unlike the ugly cockscomb that is why...
By the way, one day, the twist of fate began to the rose, at last, her stem was broken from people's hands, for she was so beautiful and charming to people like that she has enjoyed popularity all along.
Even as the rose's stem was breaking, and then, was being trampled under the heel of people, at the very moment, the cockscomb was next to the rose, witnessing the tragic scene, so that the cockscomb realized that she was the very blessed flower after witnessing the tragic life of the rose, even if she was not beautiful, nor was showy, nor was well-known like the rose was so. For the cockscomb is still alive, but the rose was dead due to her beauty, her flowery fame.
Like this, all these things, the showy things, are like poison and have a deadly venom in them. After all, the poison of the beauty, something outward things, something visible things, killed the rose's showy life...
