of naive illusions

this is something completely abstract.
can we fathom the existence of beautiful lives and happily ever after? are they an actual reality or just mere figments of some naive illusions?
beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,
but what we see often is not what actually exists.
the world hides profound and immense secrets, by which the eyes of some may comprehend, whereas others miss.
millions of things happen within a blink of an eye, millions of things that the eye blinker will miss.
and what is a perfect life or a happily ever after when it is all outward appearance?
what lies inside is what often matters,
and truth can never be understood within a glance.
underneath her smile, there's a completely different story.
and underneath that plain, bare glance, of inevitable beauty there is profound darkness, one of which one can never comprehend.
it is within naive illusions that we often make assumptions of vanity and envy.
these naive illusions are there to stay. they're inevitable, and our minds can never evade the solitary confinement it brings.
however, envy can be beautiful, just another thing that makes life more interesting.
do beautiful lives exist?
i do not know,
but beauty is within the eyes of the beholder,
and where we live and exist, there has always been many, many eyes
