Pink Roses

 



Pink roses” Beyza thought, admiring their vibrant colors and delightful fragrance. “They’re just so beautiful!” Strolling through her favorite lush park, she felt like she was in a fairytale, where every step brought her closer to nature’s wonders. With each bloom nodding in the gentle breeze, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of peace wash over her. After hitting her ten-thousand-step goal, the idea of sitting on a nearby bench to soak in the scenery felt like the perfect reward. She chuckled at the thought of asking the roses, “How do you manage to be so gorgeous?” It was a silly notion, but there was something captivating about their perfect petals. “And you know,” she added playfully, “you’re not just pretty; you’re useful too!” Talking to flowers always made her smile, and it sparked a curiosity in her. What was it about their flawless beauty that inspired such admiration? In truth, everything in nature seemed to possess a kind of perfection —everything, that is, except for humans!

Beyza reflected on how, for people, beauty often takes center stage. Women and men alike put in the effort to look their best, chasing after the ideals of attractiveness. Her grandmother had always reminded her, “It’s important to be beautiful inside as well as outside.” Roses, after all, are stunning from afar, but when you take a closer look, they offer so much more than just their looks. And it’s not just roses; everything in nature plays its part. The sea, the sky, the trees, and the birds — they all contribute to the balance of life while bringing us joy. So why do we tend to focus only on enjoyment?

She had seen it firsthand recently: Faruk had chosen that girl simply because she was beautiful. Sure, she was attractive, but she didn’t know how to cook and had no interest in learning. Cleaning? That was for hired help. For her home’s organization, she needed massive wardrobes and drawers. She believed that happiness came from spending. Coffee was usually enjoyed outside, and fish was never cooked at home. Since they were young, they needed the support of others around them. Faruk’s mother was surprised to find herself asking, “Doesn’t she ever call to check in?” They seemed to believe it was others’ responsibility to reach out, invite, and offer support. Their motto was, “Life is short; let’s enjoy ourselves,” but in their pursuit of pleasure, they missed the value of meaningful connections. Spending an entire day watching a TV show or a movie was standard for her. To her, people who went to concerts, cinemas, or fancy dinners out were the ones enjoying life. For her, modernity required a trendy new home, designer clothes, and jewelry. Then, as the honeymoon period ended, the issues began to surface. The jewelry gifted at the wedding was spent, and the credit cards were maxed out. When Faruk expected support from Aysun, he was met with complaints and ultimately, abandonment. “I never really knew her; we’re from different worlds. I was deceived by her beauty — she was the wrong person,” he admitted, facing the inevitable. “Sadly, things had taken a turn for the worse.

 

Isn’t that always the way? Beautiful kittens, blue-eyed children —anything lovely draws our attention. Wonderful design but poor performance — like wall art, ornaments, lanterns, and accessories. Or those delicate high heels that people admired but you could never wear again because they were uncomfortable. It’s the useful things that last. She found herself thinking aloud, Why don’t people choose what’s truly beneficial?


Human beings are generally inclined to choose what benefits them, but they also want enjoyment. Yet sometimes, beauty and utility appear as separate choices. Life asks, “What will you choose, and how will you decide?” When enjoyment takes precedence, indecision and poor choices can follow.

Experiential Design Teacing says: Everything beneficial can become beautiful if one perseveres. Like a pink rose, we should offer value, choose what’s beneficial, and maintain aesthetic grace without compromise.

But the big question is: How do you become a pink rose?

To know the answer ask that "one" person!"
