November 22 Lecture

Today in class we did a lot of talking about beauty. We got in groups and talked about what our definition of beauty was. Is it physical? Does it apply only to the senses? Or is it deeper than that? The teacher also told us not to say that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I find that to be somewhat true i feel like it's also a double entendre. Sure we each have a different opinion of beauty. What  is beautiful to me may not be beautiful to you. However, that saying can also mean that beauty can be deceiving. Beauty LIES in the eye of the beholder. It could actually mean that beauty lies to your face! with the way the world is nowadays you can look at a girl and see that she is gorgeous. But as soon as you take off all that makeup you might not think that anymore. In a way her beauty lies to you. Our group came up with the definition that beauty is that which brings an emotional response. I feel that can be true but at the same time not. Maybe beauty is that which brings about a positive emotional response. Whatever. I truly feel that beauty is that which a person appreciates. A painter appreciates his painting. A Locksmith might appreciate a lock made by another locksmith. Or a collector a good sword. A serial killer might appreciate his kill. Not all may be good but if one appreciates it then it's beautiful in their eyes. I guess to me... beauty is that which you appreciate. sure it differs between person to person but hey... that's my opinion and i'm sticking to it. I also did a presentation today which i felt was super crappy. i forgot a lot of what i was gonna say and i'm just not happy with it. Frank Lloyd Wright if your ghost is stalking me right now and you saw that presentation... i'm sorry. I wish i could've done you more justice. anyway. OVER AND OUT!
