Beauty is subjective and determined by each individual. It can be the outer appearance, or a inner process of how a person acts, reacts, and feels toward other. The factor that determines beauty, is determined by the observer, not the holder.

A subjective trait eliciting an aestetic response in an observer. Standards of beauty, as held by people, fluctuate according to conditions and trends of humanity.
For example, in the middle ages, wealth and abundance were highly valued. Women who had accumulated excess body fat were seen as desirable.

After a pretty long life I for one believe that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. I can see something and think it's beautiful and you can see the same thing and think how ugly. We all process stuff differently. Ain't it great.

Beauty is what you find attractive, not what others say. It can be a moment, a picture, or a person that creates feelings in you that are hard to express but ones that bring you joy. Beauty inspires peace and love and the desire to share with others. If lifts the soul and fills it with love.

Beauty is the apprehension of the transcendentals of truth and goodness in a form that can be appreciated by the senses.
