Mmeso Inspires: When Beauty Is No More

What is beauty?

They said it is in the eyes of the beholder…

Perhaps, an assertion we had come to believe

Or a maxim that had come to live

Neither ways had it come to stay.

We shouldn’t forget in a haste…

That besides beauty there is much to give.

That aside physique there is much to offer.

Beauty is beyond physical, a lot better

A kind heart…a beautiful smile

A sweet soul…a good character is highly indispensable.

You may also like this:

I met my man he is Tall and handsome

I met my woman she is curvy and pretty

Good to know, sweet to hear.

But why did you fail to tell us that Mr. Handsome

beats you all the time?

Why did you fail to tell us that Miss. Curvy is promiscuous?

Yet, you hide from us that Mr. Tall fight with his family all day

And Miss. Pretty escaped from home.

Beauty should be appreciated

Beauty should be applauded

Beauty should be celebrated

But there is more to that even.

Other special qualities must not be buried in the dark.

Because it takes only the light to see them.

And a positive mind to unravel them.

Just a day, Miss.

Only a day, Mr.

Beauty will fade away.

What then remains, when those charming eyes with which you first beheld her begins to dim?

What then stands?

What then remains, when that physique which first attracted you to him begins to bend?

What then holds?

Besides beauty there is much to give.

Aside physique there is much to offer.

In a society and in a world where physical beauty is given exclusive attention.

We should learn to appreciate other special qualities because they are hard to come by.

In our choice of partner for a life time commitment, beauty should not be counted first.

Because when it is all gone, lies yet a mystery to be unraveled.

Choose wisely.
