“The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul”
— George Sand
Simplified Meaning:
What we see with our eyes can be very attractive and catch our attention quickly, but this kind of beauty is temporary and only affects us for a short time. True beauty, however, is deeper and connects with our hearts and souls, not just our eyes. For example, a person might look very handsome or beautiful on the outside, but if they are unkind or selfish, their true self is less appealing. On the other hand, someone who might not be the most attractive at first glance can become very beautiful to us if they are kind, generous, and loving. This kind of beauty lasts a long time and stays with us, making a lasting impression. To apply this to our lives, we should remember to look beyond appearances and value people for their inner qualities and character.
