It’s interesting that the most beautiful things in the world don’t do much of anything at all. In fact, they’re beautiful precisely because they don’t do anything. Their quiet, do-nothing approach to existence – their utter serenity – is what makes them so appealing. Think of a beautiful mountain lake. What does it do all day? What does it accomplish ? At the end of a day, could we make a list of all the jobs a lake had carried out? No, the lake just pretty much sits there all day and all night, and that’s what gives rise to its irresistible loveliness.
