Sunsets

To me, the most beautiful thing in nature is most definitely a sunset. After analyzing a sunset, it's not too hard to see why it is the most beautiful. There's meaning behind the beauty. A sunset is made up of three main colors. These are pink (of the clouds being struck by the setting sun), blue (of the sky), and red (of the setting sun itself). Pink is often a color representing girls. Blue most often represents boys. Red is undisputably the color of passion. So, the most beautiful thing in nature is representative of the passion between girls and boys. This could be easily interpretted as love, which is the most beautiful in existence. However, once you take away the passion, love isn't so wonderful. If you proceed to take away the girl, love loses very much of its appeal, as it is no longer love. It's just one person, wishing for a beautiful thing that used to be. Who could appreciate a sunset without a sun or clouds? No one. Once the sun sets, it's over, and the sky moves into a new stage of life until the sun once again shines into its presence.
