Each of us finds different things beautiful. What is beauty to you? How do you define it? What are the beautiful things in your life? :)

It's compassion, sensitivity, maturity of thought, grace, peacefulness, long-suffering, kindness, gentleness, love, joy, humility, honesty, integrity, etc. Sounds familiar? :) But really, those qualities aren't just restricted to where they've been taken from, because it's applicable to all of us.
Beauty to me can be many things, but mostly it is what's on the inside of a person. Exterior appearances just enhances a person's inner beauty or lack thereof. A pure heart is better than a thousand wicked ones, doesn't matter whether the person looks 'pretty' or not. My loved ones are all beautiful to me, each in their own special ways.
A genuine smile, a big hug, or a child's eyes are some of the most beautiful things in the world. Carefree laughter goes into my book as well, together with warm, encouraging words. Good music, good literature and good artwork/theatre plays are beautiful to me. So is the rain pattering on my window and the rays that wake me up each morning.

There are so many answers to this question. :) Beauty for some things is perfection like a plump, ripe, red strawberry with no mold or scarring, or the precise rendering of a landscape. On the other hand, beauty is also the flaws in life like the girl with the gap in her teeth, but she's just so sweet, helpful, and not full of herself because she thinks she's ugly or the dead tree in the middle of a live forest. Beauty is so subjective and all around us. It's hard to pinpoint one definition.

Your The Definition Of Beautiful
2017-01-19 17:11:29 · answer #3 · answered by lincheta 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
My definition is grace, poise and goodness. I find beauty in both symmetry and asymmetry, in youth and age, in things and people that are true and unique reflections of the Creator's handiwork. I find beauty in that which moves me to compassion or expresses selfless love. There are few beautiful things in my life and many beautiful people. One of the most beautiful things I ever saw was a picture of Mother Teresa holding an emaciated infant who barely filled the palm of her hand, the beauty of the look that passed between them was beyond description.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder .
to see yourself as others see you , is entirely the way you conduct portray yourself .
you could be an 'ugly duckling ' --- but to someone not judging on looks alone --- you could be the most beautiful person in the world --- that reaction is ' kicked in ' by chemistry . hence the saying ; that beauty is in the eye of the beholder . good luck and a merry xmas and prosperous new year .

What a great question! In a person, I find sincerity and confidence incredibly beautiful. Physically, a person always seems more beautiful to me if they have great qualities like those.
Apart from people, I find symmetry and converging lines quite appealing. My eye is often drawn to this in pictures, which is my favorite medium.
How about you?

Beauty is....oh I don't think I can describe it...maybe when you have to look at something or someone a couple seconds longer than you should and think "Whoa is that beautiful." Good question. I'm glad we have beauty in this world.

What Beauty is, I cannot tell. I just can tell the outcomes that beautiful things, persons and so on have on my soul: Joy
What such Joy is , I cannot express by means of human words.
