Does it deserve to be Beautiful?
Is it really beautiful or do you like it? This is a question people don't ask each other very often. I remember hearing from countless people that tastes are independent, they can be different from person to person and they obey the person's likes and not what the majority of the people would agree on. I have seen how things that are extremely ugly to me are the prettiest things for some other person. If this happens and we get lost in the world of tastes, we barely distinguish why we chose something to be liked by us. There are no standards, there are no laws, but tastes are so bonded to the beauty. When we say we think that something is beautiful we are mostly looking towards our tastes and not to everybody's opinions about the object. What value but only individual can exist if we affirmed that the notion of beauty depends on the tastes of each person? For me it is not okay to denote something as beautiful if no one except me can value its beauty, as an alternative I openly prefer the thought that what is beautiful for me has to be beautiful for someone with similar traits like mine, maybe not for all the world, but yes for other people who share common interests with me. What would be the meaning of something beautiful if it can't be valued by somebody? That is why I conceive that what I find beautiful should rather be equally or more beautiful for somebody else.

I agree with the concept that for something to be considered beatiful it must be accepted as beatiful to a very high percentage of people. If some crazy guy considers that a blank paper with a mere dot in the center is the pinnacle of beauty, it wouldnt be considered beatiful by the vast majority of people. even when he believes it is genuinely beatiful it cant be defined as beatiful as this beauty cant be appreciated by other people
ResponderEliminarCarlos I like what you argue on this blog post, specially what you say that the only person that can say if something is beautiful is you, because maybe i may like something that you don't and that doesn't mean is not beautiful, so the beauty is shown different in every person.
ResponderEliminarhey carlos i agree with you and also with luis ariel coment were it say that something really beautiful it will be beautiful for most of all the people, yes it will be people that don't will have the same perspective of the object. thats why there is no a definitions exactly for beauty.
