    Yeah but none of them are anywhere near as ephemeral as a firework display.

      That doesn’t make them more/less worth it.

      If your criteria for worthiness is persistence then is a nice looking meal as worth it as equally nutritious goop ?

      Something like a sunset, a blizzard, or a thunderstorm are the more closely comparable natural equivalent. They’re special because they’re short-lived or rare.

      A theater performance is equally ephemeral. Or a concert. Or meeting your favorite celebrity. Or a good meal.
