Appareo

Perception is an ugly thing. We take in and believe in only what we can see. Whatever that is absent, is automatically non-existent.

Quranic text tells us Man were made out of various forms of clay, with a soul subsequently breathed in by the will of God.

The very nature of our being thence, has become entirely geological if they were to be put in a form of analogy.

For instance, we always crave for beauty in others. The perfect partner would have both external and internal aspects of themselves completely aligned and balanced.

Yet that isn't always the case.

Due to our limited senses, we get enticed and allured by the beauty of forests or green fields, when in truth, the earth they have hugged their roots around contain nothing but dirt.

And as we cut down all the trees, used up all of the wood, and foraged all of the fruits, we abandon the land, leaving it barren and desolate.

Beauty based on whatever is on the outside is ever so temporary.

It is however, a rarity for us to ever be attracted to the jagged rocks, or wide, endless oceans of sand deemed the desert. People often avoid these places, to find fertile grounds, or at least a safer path to travel.

Little do people know, that most of these layers of seemingly barren rock hoards a tremendous amount of precious gold, whether black or displaying metallic lustre.

After thousands of years of mining, notwithstanding the progress of extraction technology, Man has still failed to learn to not judge a book based on its cover.

But it is true, that these precious stones, be them diamond or coal, will eventually run out too.

And when it does, it signifies senility or even death.

I am on nobody's side.
People in truth, are short-lived. Whether ugly or not.

We try so hard to conserve finite minerals and endangered trees, just so they could last a little longer.

Makes you wonder that maybe perception is pointless. And that when you love someone, you just...do.

Industrialism can suck my dick.
