What is beauty ?

Question

What is beauty ?

Answer 1

From a purely scientific perspective, "beauty" features are features that make us think a person is young, strong, and/or fertile.  Studies have shown that features we find "beautiful" (hip to waist ratio, face symmetry, etc.) are features that are linked to fertility or health in our minds.  We're really acting on basic reproductive instincts.  Oh - you were talking about humans weren't you?

Answer 10

many people think beauty is something easy on the eye and pleasant to look at, and some people think nice people that do good things are beautiful because no one can find anything ugly and harmful in their actions,

personally i think beauty is happiness, where you are so secure nothing can seem bad and ugly, beauty is an emotion in my opinion, but people use it as a description for things that they think look pleasant

Answer 11

Here's a quote by Jean Anouilh: "Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God".

And i agree. coz when your senses catch something beautiful, you'll realize that it must have been created by 'someone' for some reason. then you'll be sure there's GOD.

Answer 13

It can mean many diffrent things to many diffrent people. Thats why your gonna get many diffrent answers. its anything that is pleasing to you as a human being. It can be on the outside, inside or both of a person. it can be the delightness of an object or a style. To me also, its a persons good spirit.
