“The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic

and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.”

Khalil Gibran.

All emotion is energy and this energy can be positive or negative. Think about how your
perception of anything can be altered just by these energies. Only when the energy has
changed might they see things differently. Just recognizing that our emotional moods create
our perceptions is a major step in being able to gain more control over what we do and say.
Our reality can then be influenced greatly by our emotional control. [1]

The emotions we feel may shape what we see. Our emotional state in a given moment
may influence what we see. When we are sad, we see things in different ways. We see things
as a problem, that's because we take it as a negative, because we are sad or angry. When we
are happy and glad to see differently, we see things as beautiful and positive. We must always
be positive and see things beautiful, it because magic, happiness, and positivity are always
starting with ourselves.

We enjoy looking at aesthetically pleasing things, whether it is art, nature, or just other
people. We look at things that are pleasing to our eyes regardless of what they may be, and
for a second we realize that reality is there, and our eyes perceive it. Regardless of how your
eyes try to perceive a particular painting for instance or a particular person, you cannot
change the reality of their aesthetics. Thus the moral necessity of aesthetics is to understand
that they are what they are, and we cannot make them what we want them to be.

Beauty is an objective reality. Something out there. A property that exists in the world
waiting to be discovered. A universal standard that isn’t dependent on human judgments or
opinions.[2] Plato and Aristotle disagree on what beauty is, they both regard it as an objective
in the sense that it is not localized in the response of the beholder. While they hold differing
conceptions of what “beauty” is, Plato and Aristotle do agree that it is a feature of the
“object,” and not something in the mind of the beholder. [3]

Beauty is an objective standard, subjective is guided by emotional whims of inadequacy


or repression. A woman is beautiful regardless of the opinions of other people. In fact, the
origins of this term stem out from a spree of paramount jealousy. When a woman looks upon
another woman, she knows the qualities and beauty she had but chooses to say that it is ugly
because she himself cannot have such beauty, or rather because she holds some personal
distaste for other’s achievement. People hate those that are physically attractive. The
immediate mechanism that they use to protect their fragile egos is to say that “looks are not
everything”, or “I am not attracted to them”. This is a lie. It is as if they reject those that are
beautiful in the fear that they themselves might be rejected.

Beauty comes from within, nothing can be obtained outside, it all starts within the heart
and soul, it's acquired by the freedom to pick and choose the positive you desire to see in your
eyes, if you are looking close enough if it's your nature to acknowledge beauty, you will see,
not by outside, but inside. Inside of you. I think that the essence of beauty is that, while it’s
not necessary for our survival or existence, we always look for it simply because it gives us
pleasure and a sense of satisfaction, thus making our lives a bit more enjoyable and
interesting. Beauty, therefore, is something that exists without our acknowledgment of it, it is
not culturally defined. Beauty is not some subjective interpretation of societal mores, but a
simple biological reality. There is value in what is inside of you, just as much as if there is
something outside of you. The inside and outside count the same in the real world, and a
rejection of that is to evade reality.
