A possible argument for being shallow?!?!?!

[kamikazebomba]

I was pondering as I often do (I'm a pondering man) and I was considering a few lyrics to a Rilo Kiley song I am enamored with at the moment which go something like this "and the talking leads to touching, and the touching leads to sex, and then there is no mystery left" and I got to thinking about the phrase "beauty doesn't last forever" and I realized that while beauty doesn't last forever it does tend to last longer than personality at our age. You start dating a someone for various reasons, they are mysterious, they are intersting, they are funny, and/or they are beautiful. Well, after you have been with them for a while and gone a ways with them, the mystery leaves they just aren't mysterious anymore they are usual common etc... , the things about them you thought were interesting you are now used to and they are therefore no longer interesting, the jokes and little mannerisms are all played out and probably now a bit obnoxious, but what remains, they are still beautiful, in the long run beauty does tend to outlast everything else at least at our age, so maybe we are supposed to be shallow at this point in our life and get over it when we are older? Maybe this whole idea that beauty doesn't last forever is a huge conspiracy of ugly people trying to hide the fact that every alluring quality about a person is in fact temporary as well? I dunno but it made me think, hopefully it makes you think too.
