Fragility is perhaps one of the most beautiful qualities in nature. Those things which are fragile carry more meaning to their existence simply because they may cease to exist at any given moment. Flowers, for instance, may soon wither once they bloom. This makes their momentary existence more meaningful. The delicate nature of young animals makes the instinctual love of their parents more endearing to witness. Even the sight of clouds is more memorable because a single gust of wind could send them away on a never-ending journey. Yet, the beauty of fragility lacks depth when it is not complemented by resilience. When a flower dies, a new one will always bloom. Young animals will grow up to be strong and healthy. A gust of wind can push away a cloud, but it cannot destroy it.
