Everyone looks around to seek something greater, noble and sublime. Seeking beauty and truth is a never ending process. Generations may be extinguished by the natural and man made catastrophes but the evolution of the earth will continue to rotate.
The life cycle is beautiful to watch. When the child is born, it is cute or handsome. It becomes a doll in the hands of the teenagers, adults young and old. There is a beauty all particular during the teenage. Then follows the fullness of youth hood , here man practices the vanity and the zenith of his growth. When the man tends towards his old age apparently the beauty decays, the ears, eyes, teeth begin to show the deformation. Wrinkles on the face, gray hair all fading away of the glory. Despair and despair.
Yet there appears the nobility in the appearance of a man who has lived his life to the fullness. The glow that radiates over the face cannot be substituted by the cosmetics. The radiance of the spiritual life lived with integrity is a capital deposited against all the sufferings and trials.
Man never decays for the sufferings undergone with purity of heart and with humility. Man undergoes the decay of his splendor by using the wrong means. King Solomon did not ask God for the glory of reigning over the empire but humbly asked for the wisdom to govern. It is not enough to acquire and accumulate huge wealth and surplus profit . Man must be endowed with wisdom knowing how to govern his acquisition and invest it towards the lasting profit.
In the Bible the one who got five talents, he doubled it, and the one who had got two talents equally doubled it. But the one who had doubled to ten , he became the honor of the surplus. But the one who had hidden underground, even what he had been stripped away from him. This is the eternal wisdom
