A lot of things seem beautiful because they produce a desirable effect in your senses -- light, colour, scent -- but if you dig a bit deeper, it isn't all roses.
Ah, roses. Very pretty. Love the scent. However, you do *not* want to poke yourself with one of those thorns when puttering about in the garden, because you can get a nasty infection.
And I
the M42 nebula in Orion. Absolutely adore it. However, it's not exactly a place you'd like to visit because of all the wild shit going on in there.
The universe is at least 99 parts chaos to 1 part order, but our brains have evolved to respond to patterns and order and tend to ignore things that are awesome in all the wrong ways. If the universe were evidence for a god, I wouldn't want to meet that lunatic in a dark alley.
