Beauty and my thoughts on it

What is beauty? Beauty is a word that explains what we as a person find attractive, not only aesthetically, but emotionally, spiritually, many things as well. These pictures are small examples of what I find beautiful.



I think lightning is beautiful, because its something amazing that we cant really explain. Lightning is part of nature, and just because of that it can be beautiful. When you see it, it makes you feel small and insignificant, because, what are you compared to this? Its amazing, beautiful, and wonderful.




The aurora Borealis, another thing that i find both beautiful and amazing. It is rare, so few people have actually seen it. its another thing that makes you feel small. It makes you wonder what makes this world so fascinating, what makes these things happen. Its awing, is what it is, more than beautiful.

I don't like to think of THINGS as being beautiful, more ideas, thoughts. What we think up can become something beautiful in and of itself.

I really admire your perception of beauty. Both of the things that you found beautiful had to do with nature, and nature in itself is one of the most wondrous and beautiful things on the face of earth. I agree with what you find beauty to be. Like you, I perceive beauty as more of a concept and thought, rather than actual objects or beings. Oh and side question: what is the Aurora Borealis?

I agree. I think that nature really is beautiful when it comes down to it. I'd rather have a house overlooking the ocean than a house in the city with a bunch of art in it. Natural beauty, if you think about it, was the first beauty that man discovered.
