BEAUTY

To define beauty is impossible. That is, there is no universal definition for beauty. The meaning of beauty may vary from persona to persona. I believe beauty like all other emotions is one that comes from within and is not subjected to just what the naked eyes can see or hands touch. Also i believe that for one to be able to see the beauty in anything, they should be able to understand and appreciate what the various compositions of that object are and how they contribute to creating the end result.

To me, beauty is whatever you want it to be. Beauty can be pain, hate, love, money... etc. The factors that i may use to measure the beauty in an object may change when the object in question changes. However, the only aspect that remains unchanged is the fact that i consider the various factors that go into creating the object in question. My appreciation of the various factors that make up something may compel me to acknowledge its beauty. An example is in the situation where after listening to a song for the first time, i loathed it. Upon listening to closely a second time, my initial resentment changed. This is because on the second time, i chose to recognize the effort and listen to the words and rhythm instead of its beats. Upon realizing the message in the song and how its been infused with the beat to make a song, i began to appreciate the song much more than initially. This lead to my acknowledgment of the songs beauty.

Also, while artifacts like Michelangelo's David may be perceived to posses beauty and of great value by most aristocrats, the very same sculpture may be considered invaluable and ugly by a less wealthy person. This can be attributed to the fact that, this sculpture holds different meaning to both persons. The aristocrat may feel this way about the sculpture because it was made my Michelangelo. The other man who happens to be less fortunate might feel anything with beauty has to be useful and since he cannot use the sculpture for anything, there is no beauty in it.

All in all, it is clear that to see the beauty in something, it all depends on ones circumstances and what factors they consider important about that object, So in my own short words, beauty is the attribute of an object that makes it desirable.
