- WHAT DEFINES BEAUTY? -
What defines beauty? That is such a large question; External beauty is transient as a passing breeze. Yet true beauty from within will never age. “Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety”. Therefore I feel that a person’s true beauty is internal and not external. Beauty’, influenced from the old Latin word ‘beatus’, meaning, happy, blessed. Not physically beautiful, but beautiful in characteristics. That is how I define beauty.-
You could define beauty as a flick of the hair, a graceful move, a slender frame. These things are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but they are superficial qualities of no real consequence. They have impact of that I’m sure. But they have no sustaining importance. They are purely on the surface and have no depth. True beauty is deep within the psyche, the soul, the character, the very being of the person. -
What defines beauty? A beautiful face; But a beautiful face with no true self behind it, is not really beautiful. It is a hollow shell. It is the qualities of the person that define beauty. A true soul, compassion, selflessness, and unawareness of the beauty itself that display true beauty; A genuine and caring nature with no regard to the self defines true beauty for me. Is beauty not visual, but merely a conceptual elegance, as so perceived by mathematicians? Certainly in looking at aesthetically pleasing composition of features, mathematics is involved in the makeup.
Image gives forth the beauty but with nothing behind the pleasing appearance how could it be described as beautiful. It is one dimensional and therefore has no real importance. To be Spirituality ethereal is indeed to be beautiful. To display qualities of kindness and true caring are infinitely more beautiful than just a pretty face with perfect features. We like to look at a beautiful person because their features are mathematically in perfect harmony and proportion, therefore what we see is visually very pleasing, so yes, it is beauty, but not of the lasting kind. Fate has been kind to a beautiful woman and it can definitely help in life to be beautiful. People are drawn to beauty, they want to look at it, admire it, touch it, but this type of beauty is fleeting and it can disappear in the blink of an eye.
To define beauty is like trying to describe life itself. It’s very hard to put your finger on. I see beauty in buildings, churches and cathedrals. In defining their beauty it would be for their architecture, their pleasing lines, they do not have human qualities but they do possess character and soul. Beauty is elusive and beauty is cruel. How would I define it ultimately? A summer’s day? A perfect sunset? A babies smile? An act of compassion. Who knows! In the end I feel that beauty, like poetry is best left alone and simply appreciated and not analysed or defined. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder so who is to say what defines beauty. -
