Pulchritude

Things are always more complex than they seem. A word that sounds ugly can mean beauty. A celebratory cake can reflect ambivalent feelings. The best day of your life occurs in a world that is sick with mass shootings, racism, and corruption. The stark beauty of a winter's day is a reminder of the finality of death. This is the untidiness of "Pulchritude," the confounding richness of every day.
