“It’s not appearance, it’s the essence. It’s not the money, it’s education. It’s not the clothes, it’s the class. ? -Coco Chanel-
Values have been distorted so lately that many confuse what is seen with what it is, linking appearances with truth, which does not correspond to the reality of facts, has lost the ability to look beyond what materializes there, as if perfumery were able to show essence, as if acuity and pompous materiality could be what defines people.
- In fact.
- Elegance is disappearing.
- Something rare.
- Difficult to find.
- Here it is not only about elegance.
- Visible and materialized by the designer’s clothes or the car of the year.
- But about the way we treat others.
- How we behave in the face of life.
- In everything that brings good and evil.
- Elegant people can dress humbly.
- Because they never miss the course.
- Which is nothing less than the human essence.
Elegance is part of everything we have in us, in our hearts, everything that moves us, what appears in our actions, in how we relate to others, especially in the way we behave in relation to others, that offers us nothing in return. Elegance has to do with the strength of our character, with our gaze beyond ourselves, with our actions when there is no one around, when we help for no hidden reason.
Elegant people don’t force situations, they don’t seek attention, they don’t need the approval of others, they don’t feel the need to appear, in fact, they stand out naturally wherever they are and with those who are, because their eyes smile, their sincere eyes. They are self-sufficient, they love each other, they accept each other, they know their own limits, they perceive themselves imperfect. They try, without judging, to understand; more than labeling, hospitality. We feel so close to them, simply because they are there with the truth.
Unfortunately, this confusion between appearance and essence often ends up driving us away from magical encounters, unable to stay with people to recognize what is true in each one. The rush to get what we can afford and take away unfortunately prevents us from realizing that the most beautiful and essential thing we will have in our lives and that will endure us in hearts that love us sincerely is all that does not pay the money, because it is priceless: hands together, affectionate, looking back, stolen kisses, big smiles, sincere joy , the whole being, body and soul.
