“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
This quote by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross really resonates with me. It speaks to the idea that beauty, in its truest form, comes from within, shaped by life's challenges. It's easy to think of beauty as just skin-deep, but she reminds us that the most beautiful people are those who have faced hardships — defeat, loss, suffering, and struggle — and have somehow found their way through.
Those who have experienced defeat, suffering, and loss and have managed to overcome these challenges often possess a deep understanding of life's hardships. This understanding nurtures their compassion, gentleness, and love for others.
She emphasizes that such beauty is not innate or accidental; rather, it is cultivated through life's most difficult experiences.
It is the journey through pain and recovery that shapes individuals into truly "beautiful people." Their beauty is a reflection of their capacity to endure, grow, and empathize with others who suffer, making them unique and deeply admirable.
