A reason to look under the surface.


The reason why you cannot choose a mate based solely on their physical appearance is that such an appearance is a beautiful, fleeting thing, drifting nearby like a bird on the wind. It is temporary. It is not meant to be tied down, and it does not stay. Trying to grasp physical beauty is like trying to prevent the spores of a dandelion from blowing away in the breeze: you can blow them away yourself, making a wish as they disappear to create new life, or try to restrain them, causing frustration in the process. Let beauty bring joy while it is near, but realize that it is not a solid foundation for lasting love. Choose a mate because the warmth inside you is doubled when that person is near.
