Beauty in the eyes of the beholder

I was on the beach collecting rocks, finding the most prettiest rocks to add to my collection. The friend walking beside me reached down to pick up a rock and inspected it just before he handed it to me. It was such an ugly rock! With disdain, I pointed out the ugliness of that rock. Childishly, not considering that I should insult a dear friend. I was merely criticizing a lacking skill at rock collecting! I had no desire to carry this heavy stone. There were several more worthy stones to find along the way. As if to assert that he selected that particular rock with specific intention, he declared, "put it next to the beautiful ones and the beautiful ones will look even more beautiful"
