It seems that to Oscar Wilde, beauty and youth were the most important things in life, just like Lord Henry, a character of The portrait of Dorian Gray, and I think that it's not correct because for me there a lot of basic aspects of our life that are most important than being good looking and young, such as health or education, so I believe that with this philosophy, Wilde is being very superficial and materialist.
I also disagree with Wilde when he says that when you get older your beauty flies away, because sometimes older people can be as beautiful or more beautiful than people, but maybe in different ways. I do really conceive that even if old people are sometimes wrinkled they can also be very nice looking and charming.
In conclusion, I consider it is very sad that some people believe that youth and beauty are the only things that matters in life, because these kinds of beliefs have a huge influence and they can sometimes lead us to horrible cases, such as Dorian Gray situation, which is influenced by third parties, and they also help to create a superficial society, a fact that is very harmful to all types of people.
