day 1

(I am going to go by day for the title but I will also post the question before the answers, because I am probably not going to go in order)

Day 1. What does beauty mean to you?

This is a harder question than I thought, because beauty means so many things to me. I guess depending on context.
Wikipedia says:

"Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction… An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection^.

The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being^. Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning."

I would say I believe that, I would say I couldn't define physical beauty as I see it, because I have such a vast list of characteristics I find to be beautiful. I think that self confidence and comfort are beautiful, I think that imperfection is beautiful, and originality, I guess however the question was not about physical beauty. I don't like the word “beauty”, I don't really ever use it to describe things.


"...the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature..." most things I would describe as beautiful, I guess would also be described in that way, however I also find ciaos , disorder and things that are not natural to be beautiful.

Beauty is everything
Everything is beautiful

life
death

crooked teeth
dirty feet
weather beaten hands
chapped lips

machines
trees

babies
wrinkles

absurd
unnerving
and unusual
things

roses

diamonds

rust

gold

All of that is beauty.

That's all I got for now, I am sure if I had been asked this question years ago I would have had a different answer, I am actually pretty sure you could ask me tomorrow and I would have a different answer. That's the thing that makes life and people and our minds beautiful , they change all the time.
