12/13-12/17 What Is Beauty?

What is beauty? Beauty is a characteristic of a person, place or thing. Many people strive for beauty just because it is a pleasure to many of our senses, especially our eyes. When our eyes see something of beauty, we get somewhat attracted to it. When beauty comes to mind, most people would think of a beautiful woman, and not a beautiful man. I think that calling a man beautiful has a different meaning than calling a woman beautiful. A woman of beauty is normally naturally good-looking and not fake. Tanning, dying of the hair and make-up takes away from natural beauty. But beauty doesn’t necessarily always mean the way a person looks. Someone could be ugly, and still have beauty within them. I think that it is more important to have inner beauty than outside beauty, even though looks do get you very far. To have beauty on the inside someone must be gracious, caring, and good-hearted. These people put others before them. Beauty can also mean defined in nature. When someone sees a landscape or land marking, they will often say, “Wow, that's beautiful.” I think the most beautiful thing is the ocean and its beach. I don’t think you could get much better than looking out into the bright blue ocean on a sunny day. It’s simply amazing. I also think that the fall has an extreme amount of beauty. All the different color leaves everywhere looks so neat. And finally, beauty can be describes in artwork. This part of beauty I am not familiar with because I don’t see how a piece of art can be beautiful. Unless it is a photograph, that is. I don’t understand how a bunch of colors could be beautiful, but there’s such thing. Anything with beauty is something excellent of its kind.
