Beauty

Beauty is something that cannot be defined by one simple definition. Different people choose to see different aspects as different things. I would like to say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but only because we were begged not to. In truth, it’s both very similar and very different to this. In truth, beauty exists on different levels, many of which contradict each other. In example there is Physical beauty, emotional beauty; Inner beauty (people), there is beauty in a story or concept, and beauty in the way a well told lie or deception is thought out, and beauty in music. Using these layers it is easy to imagine something that is both beautiful and hideous, like a painting with beautiful composition and painted perfectly but has a gruesome subject matter, or the reverse, a painting that, visually isn't as "pretty" But has a deep, beautiful meaning or emotional pull. I personally think that beauty is deceiving especially the Physical beauty because it makes people think in a different way just because of its appearance and I think people get deceived because it is a cultural thing since we were kids watching cartoon we know the beautiful Cinderella, Snow white, and the Mermaid VS. the Ugly wicked witches. So we learnt that whatever looks beautiful is good and whatever looks ugly is bad and wicked.
