True Beauty

Aristotle called beauty "the gift of God;",

Socrates called it "a short-lived tyranny;"

Theophrastus, "a silent deceit;"

Theocritus, "an ivory mischief;"

Carneades, "a sovereignty which stood in need of no guards."

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul."
~ George Sand~

Oh me, Oh my!

So, yet another acquaintance to add to the list of deaths.
My brother made an outlandish remark by saying that karma came back to bite this person in the butt. The woman who is now recently deceased ran over my sister in the past...even if it was only the leg. This lady, yesterday, was ran over by a 19-year old driver. She died, of course; apparently due to karma.
I'm tired of death and dying around me...but as I get older, the rate of deaths for me are going to speed up. It is, yet again, life. We live to reproduce and die. That is life's meaning.

The Beginning

And thus it begins;

Life.

Unascertained and Desolate.

Indicted by One's Choice and Action.

Countdown.

We are all fucked.
