On Beauty

[acecrystal]

---

“No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.”

[josephdc]

I think beauty is a transcendent quality that some things possess and is inherent in us humans.

[regnauld]

Beauty is nothing without ugliness!

[GOthique]

Beautiful you are
Yeah, you I choose
I look to the stars
For a girl like you
And what I lost I have found
And, yeah, we'll wait around
For the girl that is you
Yeah


You make my heart skip, but how?
I'm scared
What do I do now

I wanna go out
I'm stuck here all alone
I gotta get out
I'm here all alone
And I'm thinking of you
You're on my mind
I try to talk to you
But you never give me the time of day

I dream of us
And wake up alone
We'll take the bus
But I'm still at home
And what I've done I'll do
And then it's just me and you
And then you leave in May

You leave me hard and lonely
You are my one and lonely..

You are
Such and beautiful thing
And all goods things must come to an end
You are
Such and beautiful thing
And all goods things must come to an end
It's the end - It's the end - It's the end for you
It's the end - It's the end - It's the end for you

Let's talk about Beauty.

For me, there is a spiritual side to beauty. Whenever I encounter a beautiful thing, for example, or an utterly beautiful person, I find myself lifted to cloud nine. Then, eventually, I would experience despair, because something inside me would long to grasp that beauty, would long to preserve it somehow, or better yet possess it! Yet, at the back of my mind I also know that it's wrong to possess beauty, that it in fact is never meant to be possessed.



I'm reminded of Albert Camus' quote: "Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a moment a glimpse of an eternity which we should like to stretch out over the whole of time."

maslow acknowledged aesthetic need as a special human motivation, although the search for beauty doesn't have to be limited only to artworks. i experience beauty more often through communion with nature, seldom through man-made art.

while there is a deep-set human need to experience beauty, i don't use the word "spiritual" to describe the experience or even the need. it is psychological, of course, but the term spiritual seems too loaded with mysticism to analyze scientifically.

aesthetic experience is always fleeting. i don't desire to stretch the experience beyond its own time. when i watch the sunset i very well know that in a few minutes it will be over. i don't wish it to last any longer that it does/should. beauty flows, the experience ends, hangtod na pud sa sunod nga higayon.

beauty is only skin deep for those who had it through cosmetic surgery.

for those who were born with it, it's in their genes. they had no choice but to accept it...pero after a while ma anad ra sila to the point that it would not matter much to them. di na sila affected maski ang ubang tawo mag cge tan-aw nila
