About This Quote

There are many things in life which can be classified as beautiful and terrible. I, for instance, have one of the best jobs in the world which has taken me to some amazing places around the world. I have seen so much beauty, I have seen so much tragedy but most importantly I have learned so much about people. There are also many things in life that are beautiful and terrible yet they shouldn’t be categorized as such.

It is easy to classify something as beautiful or terrible because most people agree with you on it being one or the other. It is only when you are looking at it from an outside perspective that you begin to see what is truly beautiful about it.
