On Beauty
- When we discuss beauty, you have to keep in mind its definition.
- Through my humble understanding, beauty is somewhat rare. In a world where mediocrity thrives, it’s refreshing to see something that pleases the eye. Perfection, it may be.
- Do you know the golden mean? When I was in Drawing class, my teacher discussed that the best illustrations always follow a rule. The golden mean. When I was researching about writing, I came across “The Heroes Journey”, a tried-and-tested rule for every successful story ever told. Another golden mean.
- It makes me wonder, therefore, what is beauty anyway? Is it the rarity that follows perfection? It seemed so. The human face is considered attractive through its semblance to the Golden Mean… If that is so, then everything beautiful is not only perfect, not only fine, but the same.
- The question, therefore is this.. Beauty is precious because it is rare, but if you think about it, those rare pieces of jewelry are almost always identical. Do you, then, settle for one of these identical pieces when there is an abundance of imperfect little gems, all waiting to be recognized. They are flawed, yes… But unique.
