Beauty

Beauty. Beauty can be different for every single person. We can think that a person, a thing, a place, a feeling, or any other thing is beautiful, but others can disagree with us. Something can be beautiful for me while the same thing is ugly for someone else. We all have different concepts for "beauty".

In chapter 9 of Savater's book "The Questions of Life", he talks about a pyramid. He says that we can go to egypt and admire the pyramids and say that they are beautiful because they are huge, amazing, etc; it gives us visual pleasure. But he also says that others can think that it is not beautiful because the pyramids represent that there were many people and slaves suffering and working very hard to construct that pyramid.

Everything is unique. If someone wouldn't existed, the things that he created also wouldn't existed. Maybe someone would create something similar, but not exactly the same; similar. Definitely, beauty makes us happy. In some cases, beauty makes us change our minds and see everything in a different, better way.

  1. yes beauty makes us change our minds and see everything in a different, better way and sometimes we have to remember that it gives us the strength ebough to act in a way and say what we dont say or it also inspire us. it makes people move, think and feel good about it, beauty is something very powerful.

  2. Mariel I agree with you. Beautiful could be something personal, but also the book said that it has to be a part universal because it is not only you the person who find something beautiful or not, and the pleasure of beauty should be universal too maybe because of this. Definetely beauty makes the world a nicer place to live in.
