to show the hand of an invisable God. Beauty's purpose is to point to the creator and source of beauty which in turn gives insight to Him and hope of finding Him.

Beautiful is used to describe things people find delightful, because it is based solely on oppinion it has no objective reality. Well, Beauty exists only in the mind. I think as a whole we people would have to decide whether or not beauty exists before we can decide what it's purpose is.

Well,I don't know about you, but I see or hear something beautiful, I smile, either externally or internally. My body likes me smiling. It means I'm happy. Serotonin is released, stress is reduced, I relax and feel good. Beauty is also subjective, not necessarily objective. I've met some with horrible deformities but their beingness filled the room with a lightness that's hard to describe. But if you looked into their eyes, you would have said they were beautiful people. And I've met physically beautiful people, modern day goddesses, whose attitudes were so bad, I couldn't wait to get away from them. Foul words and bad vibes, they were ugly beyond description. And though you may or may not agree with me, beauty reminds some of us of a loving Divine Presence such as in a flower.

The idea of beauty changes over time. And, to each person different things are beautiful, which explains why we are attracted to them. I think there are very few things that are empirically ugly, that absolutely NO ONE thinks is attractive, but I don't know why they are made that way.

Beauty is what inspires artists to create art. It is what inspires writers to write and composers to compose symphonies. Beauty is a what makes life pleasurable. It is what we look for in the world as a viewfinder of Ansel Adams camera. Beauty like a photograph is etched in our mind and the creative person wants to share the snapshots with others through whatever medium they choose. There is beauty in nature. Beauty in people and things we create like words of a poem that make our lives a little better.

this could be a great question. comprehend elegance to nicely known actuality. Mark those words heavily, and consider on. right that's one occasion: What could formerly each and every thing look beautiful, in actuality may be a masks hiding a wretched individual interior, as in a fine looking, yet scheming woman who steals money and wrecks others lives for her very own purposes. She makes use of her elegance for possible 'evil' purposes. Later, there's a payback or return from her habit, and the purpose is revealed of why she replace into given great elegance, and how she used it. A time era for this consequence (and beginning up) is named 'Karma', a cycle with a purpose, truly assorted purposes regarding many people, animals, the earth, planets, stars, and components, the show up and unmanifest. interior the occasion above, the female could come across her inner elegance in the process the consequence of her strikes, and this in itself is elegance revealing actuality, and he or she turns into extra radiant along with her discovery of her inner elegance. further, a individual who's born with an visual attraction that maximum folk could think of is unattractive, could shine with an inner elegance that attracts people and animals, significant activities, and maximum critically, love. those are possibilities for all persons to locate the purpose of life, and it truly is that for which our perception of elegance exists. Now, evaluate this: while one is open to elegance in this worldwide and previous, then one sees the purpose in all, or maybe interior the 'undesirable' people or activities that are additionally referred to as 'evil', it is user-friendly to work out the purpose. to apply the information 'Divine' says that there is a separate life different than Divine. The observe Divine is as a consequence a misnomer. to work out elegance ideal is to work out elegance, actuality in all. the purpose of elegance is to bare the actuality, and to boost the seeker of elegance and actuality to information and identity with all. that's the utmost state in yoga, and in all religions, and actually, is the purpose of all atheists, to locate the actuality.

putting god things aside bcuz that's....whatever. anyhoo, i believe in today's society, globally, we are exposed to many things ugly and distasteful. deformed people, dead bodies, mutations and the like so we all see what is not ideal or what is unpleasing. we have inborn in us a desire or attraction to pretty or pleasing sensations. much like flames burn our skin and hurt, unattractive things "hurt" our eyes, they are displeasing and therefore we shun or stay away from those things. when we're babies, cute fuzzy things, our mothers face, snuggly blanket, all these things were comfortable and pleasing to ur senses made us feel secure and happy. had we an ugly mom (disfigured or something) our perception of beauty or things pleasing to the eye may be different. Whatever you were exposed to, i guess, programs your sense or ideal of beauty. and with wars, murders and other undesirable, we tend to see more things ugly and horrible than we do attractive things. beauty is, the majority, dependant on the individual themselves. Some people find sunsets pleasing and beautiful, others find beauty in mountains or rocks, while others find beauty in war itself. depends on the individual and what they have seen that influences their ideal of beauty.

Beauty has no purpose.

Beauty is the expression of truth.
