    David Hume believed that beauty exists only in the mind of the beholder rather than being an intrinsic quality of things themselves. As Hume viewed the self as a bundle of perceptions, he suggested that beauty is not a natural characteristic of things but rather depends on individual perception. Therefore, there is no universal definition of beauty as an "ideal look" that appeals to everyone.

    Quote regarding self-development

    “Beauty is not an intrinsic quality of things. It exists only in the mind of the beholder” – David Hume

    As Hume suggests that the self is just a bundle of perceptions, like links in a chain, we can be able to
    understand that beauty is not a nature of things. We can’t define beauty as having the “ideal look” that
    everyone wants. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
