How To Lose The Meaning Of Beauty

I once owned a vase. It was a shapely, smooth pearl white and I couldn't have imagined it any other way. I brought it out for a day and carried it around with me. I received praise from many people about how beautiful it looked. As the day went on, the praise seemed to keep rolling in. My thank you's turned into thanks...then into small grunts of acknowledgement. I gave the vase away, it just didn't seem beautiful anymore.
