Moon: The Underestimated Beauty I Essay By Falaq

“Moon never belongs to anyone, 

 Does the moon belong to anyone?”

If a scar or blemish doesn’t look good on a face, then how does a scar look so beautiful on the moon? It looks incredibly stunning and captivating, doesn’t it? One could stare at the moon for hours without getting tired. The moon is the perfect companion of the dark.

Even the name “Moon” itself carries a sense of love. Look at the sky—there are stars and there is the sun too, but they don’t usually become someone’s name, whereas “Moon” (Chand) is often used as a name. Everyone agrees that the real beauty of the night sky lies in the stars, but to me, its true beauty resides in the moon.

The moon takes the responsibility of wiping away the darkness of the entire world upon itself. Yet, in return for this service, it doesn’t even ask for its scars to be removed. In fact, those scars are its beauty spots. It appears differently every time—sometimes half, sometimes full, and sometimes it hides away completely. Yet, everyone knows it is beautiful.

 I agree that nature has many beautiful sights—like sunrises, sunsets, and bright blue skies—but the moon is the most beautiful. It proves that being alone can be incredibly elegant.
