"Beauty is Ephemeral, Integrity is Not"

[jerrytsuseer]

Beauty is Ephemeral,

It is here one day and gone the next.
That is,
The physical beauty of the body,
That beauty which our society teaches
Us to value and covet.
True Beauty,
That which SHINES within us,
Is more permanent, more
Important and does not fade with

Age.

When looking at the body beautiful, many times we
Are looking though a glass; darkly. It is an illusion. Oh it
Is nice to be young, to be beautiful/handsome. It is all
Well and good to be popular and attractive, but not
When this becomes the be all and end all of your

Life.

You must have more depth to yourself;
You must develop your character and your
Personal Integrity.
You know, INTEGRITY?
That which you do when no one is
Watching? Picking up a piece of
Trash from the sidewalk when
You don’t have to, is one
Example, a minor one,
But even #SMAL
Things add up.

Thank you @carloamc, I'm glad you like my writings, I just speak what I hear in my heart.
Greetings.

I agree with you. Beauty is of very little age which dies out soon whereas integrity and inner-beauty are eternal. We must try to have more inner-beauty than outer-beauty.

I agree @mmasim, I think. "Beauty is of very little age" doesn't quite make sense, so I presume you are using a translator.
It's cool though, we are in agreement. Thank you for reading and commenting.
