The Beauty of Tragedy
September 29, 2011
The flower who weathers the storm,
is just as beautiful as those who bloom in spring.
The child whose spirit was broken by a broken home,
is just as beautiful as the one whose heart is full of love.
The butterfly whose wings have been clipped,
is just as beautiful as the butterfly that recently gained theirs.
Pain is not beautiful,
not directly at least.
But tragedy is beautiful,
in its own way.
And tragedy, though beautiful, causes pain.
Ergo, pain, can be a beautiful thing.

I agree with the message. Something that can endure tragedy is beautiful, maybe not in a physical way, but still in an admirable way
