(Echeveria Elegans, Grafted moon cactus, and Haworthia Cymbiformis)
I like nature and plants in general but succulents are my favorite. However, I love cacti the most. (Cactus is subtype of succulent itself, so following applies to both mostly)
Cactus teach you that no matter how the situation is, you keep living your life the fullest. Not just that, bloom like you are the happiest.

Care
It doesn’t need any care. You go on a vacation for a month and on return, the catus will welcome you with the same freshness.
No water, no issue; no sunlight, no issue; too much sunlight, no issues.
Beauty
No offence to rose lovers (I like roses too) but they are liabilities (the princess of plants). Roses are beautiful.
But, cactuses are equaly beautiful. I admire their beauty more as it came without care!
Just look at the images of Huernia Zebrina blooms
It makes my ugly shoe rack beautiful
Flower
It produces awesome flowers as seen in other photos, here are some more (Barrel cactuses, Echinocactus spp)
Space
You put all of them in one pot and still they will thrive (Bunny Ears Cactus)
Children
How it started
and how it is going
Every leaves of these plants can be potentially a plant. Name the plant is literally “mother of thousands”
Shape
It can take wierd (argubly beatiful) shape without any special treatment
Floowing two photos are the same plant (the first one is child of the second one) (Echinopsis oxygona - Easter Lily Cactus)
This(above) plant enhanced office desk for many months
