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.
