At the moment I’m preoccupied with the perception of beauty.
a) The common view:
Beauty is in the eye
of the beholder.
True up to a point, but hopelessly inadequate when taken
deeper.
b) Shakespeare’s view:
Beauty lives with
kindness.
Better, but still too objective for such an abstract
concept.
c) My view:
Beauty is in the mind of the beholder.
This morning I was forced to change my mind about somebody. We live in a
world obsessed with physical beauty, and young people are conditioned to see it
no other way. To me, it’s a shallow, impoverished view. We’re all entitled to
our opinions.
Right now I need to get busy. The change of mind deposited a
pile of unpleasant black stuff in the pit of my stomach. I need to get rid of
it.
