Beauty is something that everyone desires. It’s an ideal that society often places on a pedestal, and many believe that being beautiful means living a life full of advantages. Beautiful women, in particular, are often seen as the “lucky” ones – they have attention, admiration, and easy access to things others only dream of. But is it truly luck? Or is it just an illusion that hides a darker side?
I fell in love with a beautiful woman. The relationship we had was likely just a friendship for her and nothing more. I did things for her to make her happy, often without her asking. At the time, I just wanted to please her, but eventually, I realized that the affection she showed was probably only because of that. This realization deeply disappointed me, and our relationship turned cold and unpleasant. Communication between us nearly ceased, and the looks we exchanged were filled with negative emotions.
Naturally, when someone falls in love and then gets disappointed, anger follows. But anger doesn’t mean you stop thinking. In my reflections, I realized that I wasn’t the only one who experienced similar disappointment with this woman. Two other colleagues who also admired and helped her now treat her even worse. But is it really her fault? Or is it a misunderstanding, a failure to understand her reality?
What if she wasn’t so beautiful? Would we expect the same affection from her and crave her attention? Probably not. And if we hadn’t fallen in love with her, we wouldn’t have experienced disappointment, and thus, no anger. In this light, it seems to me that she is the real victim. It’s possible she lives in a reality where everyone who enters her life showers her with love at first, only to cruelly reject her later. How hard must it be to live in such a world!
It’s an enormous emotional burden that would break many of us. So, I take my hat off to all those who can continue in such a situation. At this moment, looking at everything from her perspective, I feel immense sadness. Perhaps she ignored my feelings, didn’t keep her promises, took advantage of my willingness – but what if this is just her way of surviving in the reality she’s been thrown into?
I’m sorry for how I reacted. I’m sorry I let anger guide me, and that I didn’t consider what she must endure in her life. The beauty that we all admire, in my opinion, is a great burden. I’ll say just one more thing – from today, I will try to make her life better again, but without expectations, so that at least something in this world is genuinely good for her.
