What is Beauty?

Beauty is in everything. But it is also in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty can be the sound of three harmonies in a concert choir, it can be a combination of Christmas lights on a Christmas tree, or it can be integration of different ethnic groups in a big city. Personally it is really no specific definition for beauty; because there are different ways to identify it. For example in my eyes, a more simple way of finding beauty would be through art drawings or through jewelry you can buy at a store. But a more Difficult way would be taking the time to consider seven or more years of your significant other being there you through the thick and thin, staying up night after night to help you through any and everything you have gone through, being faithful, honest, original, trustworthy towards you while cooking, cleaning, going to work, paying bill after bill, attending each and every parent teacher conference, and protecting his or her family each and every day; also known as love.
Beauty is everywhere. It can be hidden and preserved or it can be flamboyant material or popular Name brand clothes. People can or appear to find the relevance in beauty by how they showcase it. Some people are more natural or down to earth people. Some won’t focus on what don’t appear to match or correlate they just wear what they have and go on about their day. While other people appear to overdo the amount of colors or ensembles they own, by wearing a combination of things simultaneously.
Last but not least beauty can be touched. A blind man can find beauty in what he feels. Beauty can be in religion. It can reflect how Christians are touched by the word of God and how some people communicate with him through prayer and reading the bible. It is unmistakable they people chose to define beauty whatever way they please. But it is not a mistake that Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
