Beauty

“What is beauty?” is not a question that I have ever been asked. To be honest, I don’t think I have ever even thought about it. So I guess I’ll have to brainstorm for this one. Well, the term “beauty” means, “the qualities that give pleasure to the senses” according to Princeton University. In my opinion, I think that the definition is right on. When you think about it, you realize all of things that make something or give something the title of “beautiful.” But then again, we all have different opinions and may have different ideas of what is truly beautiful and what is not. I mean, one of your friends might think a girl or boy is good-looking, and depending on the taste you may have for girls or boys, you may think that that person is the exact opposite. So in reality, beauty is based all off of opinions that someone may have. There are also some traits that may make something beautiful. Again, this is based off of opinion but some possible traits that might make something beautiful are: scenery, looks of someone, time of day, weather, etc. Today, you hear a lot of people saying, “Wow that woman is beautiful” or maybe even you hear, “What a beautiful day.” When people say things like that, they are basically telling you that a certain something really grabbed their attention and they like looking at whatever it is. Coming from a sports aspect of the word, “beauty” could also describe a play or series of plays that take place during the game that really made you go, “Wow.” But overall, the term beauty is an opinion and people describe it as a number of things. Now that I actually got the opportunity to answer this question, that I have never really been asked before, I will now be able to provide a deeper meaning of the word other than just pretty.
