Beauty. What is beauty? A question which has given all the philosophers, observers and wise men sleepless nights trying to provide a definition which suits all sorts. But beauty exists both independently and exclusively contradicting every definition that’s been used to define it. Stating the word of Confucius:- “Everything has beauty but not everyone can see it.” Seems legit but even if it’s true it doesn’t stop everyone from developing their own ideas of beauty. Ideas that are convincing, ideas that are explainable and ideas that are appealing. And between all the assumptions, presumptions and preconceived notions beauty has definitely lost it’s meaning. From being a delight to the soul, beauty, rather has become a weapon to condescend those who lie below the line of perfect curves, appealing colour of skin, kind of hair or particular facial sets, a judgement based on practices begin by foul people with intentions of feeling superior just because they were blessed with the features mentioned above. And this definition of beauty has become a tactic to garner fame, attention, rewards, superiority and create illusion for it has been known that beauty is the most feasible delusion.

And this definition of beauty perceived by the opportunists has created a division amongst the society. The first being the one with perfect sets of body features claiming their superiority basing it on their luck of proper DNA arrangements and the others, that lay behind in this race living a life based on their dignity and their virtues still keeping them at the end of the line and leaving them wishing if they could be beautiful. My goal here is not to loathe people for being attractive but to analyse the concepts that have driven us all so far to a demeaning end. Quoting a famous author John Green:- “That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.” Words put together so well that it feels beautiful to read it at once. But the question is how many people get influenced by these words and make amends in their lives. And here again I raised question to my own answers about beauty.

‘Feels beautiful’. Is beauty an object to look and measure, is beauty a feeling to sense or is beauty an idea to endeavour? With every possible answer to existing questions we get more questions instead.

For a mother her child or for instance any child is beautiful as ever. For an artist whose art speaks volume of his excellence beauty lies everywhere or anywhere. For a snake charmer beauty lies in the skin and eyes of snakes. For a psychopath beauty lies in the curves of his prey and how it trembles when he informs him of his fate. For an engineer beauty lies in the designs he create. For a doctor beauty lies in handing over the newborn baby to her mother. For businessman beauty lies in the number game. For a model beauty lies on curves of her body and the look on her face.

So many ideas, feelings and explanations. And they somehow never seem to intersect.

According to famous poet John Keats:- ‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever: it’s loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.’ I wish I could oppose this statement because as am reading this I feel so many memories rushing back in support of this. Remembering the times when I hold a baby in my arms and it refuses to leave me holding me tight altogether. Seeing an older couple who by society’s standards are neither pretty nor rich holding hands while going on a walk. Getting a text from someone telling you that they love you and the curve it makes on your cheeks. You might confuse it all with love or affection but these are all things of beauty if my idea of beauty is correct. I can literally think of so many instances and examples to support my claim. But this is not about convincing others about my idea of beauty. This is an effort to put restrictions on evolving ideas of beauty cause sometimes some mysteries should never be unfold and some answers should never be told for as much as we deny it, we live for the surprises that comes our way. We live to find different forms of beauty.

For my closing argument or rather justification; let’s, like everybody else in the past think of the origin of beauty. Perhaps the first men saw a rainbow after the heavy tornado and thought of giving a name to this feeling or view. And at the same time on a different place another man stood at the edge of the a cliff and saw a sunrise. They both saw something which gave them joy and a feeling indescribable. So they gave it a name: beauty. And with years passing different people with different experiences drew their own ideas or assumptions or experiences of beauty into quotes, poems, songs and stories including those who tried to objectify beauty. Unfortunately those who objectified beauty has succeeded in the present times.

So when we look at all these definitions of beauty from the mediaeval ages to this present moment, there exists no possible explanation or definition to beauty. There is only exploitation of it for personal endeavours.

Perhaps this is where we are wrong at. Trying to define beauty. Ever since humans existed they have this urge to know and control everything. Trying to define everything always undermines the thing. Because no matter how much you try you’ll always end up missing something. And when you miss something it haunts you. And right now when I am trying to force you to think about how wrong your idea of beauty is, I am giving you another idea. While that is wrong and I myself will never reach to a perfect definition all I am trying to do is to take you at least an inch closer every time to what it actually is.

For more instances, As it is said ‘Excellence is subjective depending on each person’s preferences’.

On the opposite side with regards to maths there is dependably an answer that we are sure off which we can’t negligence and we can’t contend about, for example, 5+5=10, it is outstanding that the outcome is 10 to everybody and nobody can think of an alternate answer, which implies that we consider things to be they are. Yet, when it is about the techniques we used to achieve the hypotheses which may contrast starting with one individual then onto the next, enabling the individual to consider speculations what he is not as others. When I need to do bungee jumping I Experience it in light of the fact that to me I imagine that it is not a hazardous thing to do, while to numerous other individuals it may look to them as the most unsafe experience of life. So all things considered I would take after my feelings about this specific things and decimate the questions of others. A method for information is the reason by which we watch and take a gander at all things. For instance in the range of the learning, we now and again take a gander at the craftsmanship and attempt to comprehend it the way the craftsman clarified it however somewhere inside what truly matters is the initial introduction about it climate it’s great or not and we endeavor to consider it shows up before our eyes.

In the event that an author was available in a seen it might be imprinted in his psyche with full subtle elements including its shifted angles, while others may recall it by and large with poor points of interest or neither as though it is an everyday ordinary seen. Visually impaired may rely upon his of touch rather than his non-existing sight,he will touch a great deal of things and his intuition will help him to see things and feel things significantly more than what an ordinary individual do as such a ton of times you see them have certain abilities that contrasts them and quench them from others.
