Define Beauty~

Beauty is defined as: (google it)
1.      A combination of qualities that pleases the intellect or moral sense.
2.      A beautiful or pleasing thing or person, in particular.
3.      The pleasing or attractive features of something.
Beauty to me is defined as being breathtaking and eye catching, through one’s appearance and/or for one’s personality. To explain the word is really difficult for me, because this is my own perspective in what the word means to me. The majority of people today use the word beauty to describe someone’s appearance; I’m not saying that I disagree with this because that is what beauty is defined as, being attractive, I just believe in something different.
I believe that beauty is something that you find in a person, by getting to know someone you find the beauty they have personality wise. I know that this definition is pretty cheesy, but when you think about it, that’s the only way you kind find beauty. People these days have an alternative into becoming beautiful; usually self conscious about their appearance, they go get plastic surgery. (I am not against plastic surgery; you wanna change you appearance, go ahead, no one will stop you.) The fact that most people can get their face changed makes it really hard to find the true meaning of beauty. Everyone is getting really pretty these days and when everyone is pretty, how will beauty be defined later on. As I stated before, I think define beauty in both ways of appearance and personality; one can find a really attractive person, but when that attractive person has a really great personality then the word beauty can be used in that context.
Beauty can be used in many ways when you think about it; it’s not only used to describe people, but it is also used to describe things such as scenery and/or object that catch people’s eyes in a good way. When looking at something such as a sunset, field of flowers, art or pictures the first thing that people think about is “WOW, that’s pretty.” I think that this is a really good way to describe beauty because, it’s not judgmental towards anyone and come on, sunsets, flowers and art is pretty nice.

This prompt was really hard to do because I am not really good at defining anything; I usually go with the translation on dictionary.com. I do understand the deeper meaning behind in but I think that it is easier for me to just know the word. When I finally experience or see the true meaning of the word then I’ll change my mind. My definitions are really cheesy too when I think about it; I know that my girly thought are cheesy, but hey, it’s what I believe in and that’s what I’ll believe in until otherwise. Thank you for reading~
