“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?”
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?
