the sexes aggravate me when looks mean everything
"ooh, he's so cute!"
"well? What's she look like?"
one day it'll all mean nothing
Nazi Germany, the Holocaust
Jews stripped of all they have, down to their bare bodies
what did looks mean then?
all united under one goal - to live through the day
that's the way we should all feel
carpe diem
one day we'll all stand before our Maker
bare to the bone, nothing to make us look "pretty" or "handsome"
then what will you do?
nothing but your soul will reveal who you are
nice clothing and accessories and other possessions won't help you now
then your soul will show its true shallowness
and maybe you'll cry for passing by the truly beautiful ones
but it'll be too late
then you'll know the true meaning of the word 'ugly' from below
when looks mean everything, life means nothing
