"Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do."
Beauty ...
Those stunning faces
So taken with their own reflection
That they have no time for anyone else.
Such are content to be pursued
Taught by a vain society that appearance is all.
But visages not so taken with their own
Find the truest beauty in others ...
The mystery and wonder and attraction in the world
Is reflected outward instead of in
And cultivates a yearning to know others in every way
Not bent on the orders of physical countenance
But rather those of the heart and spirit.
Beauty is concerned only with itself
But character is concerned with the elements of the soul
And the pursuit of personality, kindness ...
And love, abiding.
But ...
I have yet to meet ...
A "plain" woman.
