Is Beauty more powerful than love?

Question

look at the situations ppl put up with some one cause their infatuated with their looks and are rapped around their finger...vs how many ppl genuinely love some one for themself

Answer 1

You are asking to compare two abstract ideas on an abstract scale. People could say beauty IS love, love is beauty, power is beautiful and lovely and any number of abstract answers to your abstract question.

The answer is highly dependent on the situation and personal views of all three ideas: beauty, power and love.

Also, more powerful in terms of what? Powering an engine? Driving ambition? Causing one to cheat on another?

I will answer though. My abstract answer will be that anything one finds beautiful one must love. However, not everything one loves is always beautiful. And there's power in realizing that!

Answer 2

Pesonally, I do not think that beauty is more powerful than love.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I am in love with someone that I think is HOT but some of my friends think he is "OK."

Fake, low- self esteem people are the first group of people you are talking about, and unfortuantly, it seems that in today's society there are more of those people than geniunly happy, true to themselves people.

I just dont get it!!  I've got life all figured out, why other people can't figure it out is beyond me.

Answer 3

maybe they are the same evolutionary process instilling us with desires we need, attraction to beauty and dependency on love... but i know one thing only, i hope to live with love because you can love someone and find them more beautiful for it, and you can hate someone and still think them beautiful, but the latter kind disappears with age, and the former keeps you happy when you're old.  

Answer 4

Love is greater than all else. After all, beauty is only skin deep and doesn't last forever, whereas Love is eternal! It is for us to learn how to evaluate what is lasting compared to what is transitory.

Answer 5

Love is beauty and beauty is love. Some require a lot of love, others seek an object to idolise and worship, others prefer to be the objects of idolisation and adoration. Then there are normal people who are fortunate enough to find love, fidelity and all the beauty in the world in the one they love and adore. That is true love and living. Yes we become infatuated with the radiance of another but if upon closer inspection it is superficial or lacks substance and love or character, we lose interest rapidly and as quickly as we became obsessed. That is the cross attractiveness carries. True beauty is spiritual and much deeper and profound than simple attraction. I know women about me who have men were submissive for them, and the women in no way can be considered attractive let alone beautiful, yet the men worship them. And I know beautiful women, with broken hearts from one rejection who spend their entire lives alone. Beauty unloved becomes marred and cold and less than beautiful. There is beauty in all good souls. There is someone perfect for each person, success is patience in finding one such soul post knowing ourselves and what precisely we seek.
