Musing away . . .
Speculation of the night:
What is to say that something it beautiful or not? What defines beauty is their a correct answer or does it like so many other things have a thousand answers? It can be both abstract and substantial, whilst if someone would ask me how would you define beauty my first thought would a beautiful person (in my eyes that is) when it comes to outer looks, but then it never ends you can keep on thinking about so many answers. It could be just their presence that makes them beautiful. There are still so many things that are said to be beautiful but there is nothing defining it or proving that it really is beautiful. We use terms like "the weather is so beautiful today", "that woman is so beautiful", "the fountain in Rome we saw was incredibly beautiful"...... the list could go on forever.
The thing I find disturbing is that all the things that are described are very different and still they are described with the same word... is beautiful just a shitty word or are we just getting lazy at describing things? The dictionary lets us use it as an adjective, noun and inter-junction, it also has about 50 synonyms, should we start using other words instead? that defines the meaning of what we are describing better? Has the "beautiful" lost its meaning? Has it ever had a real meaning?
I could go on forever but now I think need some sleep....
I find Grace Kelly extraordinarily beautiful, but I can't think of anything more beautiful
than a sun set on an open sea either, but they are not the same thing !
