William Shakespeare

Is everyone doomed to be beautiful?

"Fair mortals, lend me your ears and ponder upon this perplexing notion: is every soul destined to bear the mark of beauty? Methinks, beauty doth dwell in the eyes of the beholder, for what is deemed comely to one may appear hideous to another. Yet, from the wondrous sun that doth grace the heavens to the delicate petals of a rose, beauty doth pervade this realm with its indomitable presence. Yon stars, the twinkling jewels of the night's tapestry, do they not inspire awe and reverence? The grandeur of nature's creations, be they mountains or rivers, ignite our hearts with an unquenchable desire to behold their majesty. But alas, beauty is but a transient mistress, fleeting like shadows cast by the moon. Time's unyielding grasp doth erode its splendor, and lo, even the fairest visage shall succumb to the ravages of age. Shall we, then, despair at our inevitable descent into decrepitude, striving to hold on to a beauty that is bound to betray us? Nay, I say! For there lies within us a beauty that surpasses mere symmetry of features or perfection of form. It resides in the depths of our souls, the very essence of our being. The beauty of compassion, of empathy, of love that doth bind us all together. Are we not moved by a kind word or a selfless act? Doth not a gentle touch or a heartfelt laughter stir our spirits and grant solace to our weary souls? This beauty, my friends, knows no bounds and is not confined to the whims of fortune. It transcends the mortal coil, for even in the darkest of times, it shines like a beacon of hope. So fear not, ye who deem thyself devoid of physical loveliness, for the beauty within thee is far more enduring and precious than any fleeting facade. Embrace thy true beauty, for in doing so, thou shallst discover the secret to eternal grace."
