What Is Beauty?
What is beauty? It’s a question worth pondering. It’s a tough one to answer because we’re all different, perceiving and interpreting the world in our own ways. And society is so influenced by trends that even this concept can feel imposed on us.
For me, beauty goes beyond appearance; it means absolute simplicity and freedom from all the extra things we think we need to be beautiful. Sometimes you look at a person and their simplicity captivates you more than their physical attributes. At some point you find yourself gazing at them and realizing, almost in disbelief, just how beautiful they truly are.
Maybe I’m not reinventing the wheel—this has always been the case throughout history. We’ve just forgotten how to see others in their own light, rather than through the lens of societal expectations and norms. Lately I’ve realized that the more remarkable a person is, the simpler they tend to be. They’re easier to connect with, free from the need to show off or present themselves as something greater than they are.
And finally, I once read a saying: “A person is beautiful if they are interesting.” I wholeheartedly agree with that—one hundred percent.
