GBE Reincarnated, Topic #5: BEAUTY

This weeks subject is Beauty. 

Merriam-Webster's defines Beauty as: 

1 : the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit : loveliness 

  • a woman of great physical beauty 
  • exploring the natural beauty of the island 
  • A thing of beauty is a joy forever. John Keats 

 2 : a beautiful person or thing 

  • His new car's a real beauty. 
  • especially : a beautiful woman 
  • She was a great beauty in her day. 

3 : a particularly graceful, ornamental, or excellent quality 

  • Well, at any rate, he had two great beauties—the pale flat white of his skin and his great shaggy mass of dark hair.— Dorothy C. Fisher 

4 : a brilliant, extreme, or egregious example or instance 

  • caught a couple of beauties on our last fishing trip 
  • that mistake was a beauty

In my opinion, beauty is not on the outside, but inner beauty is what I find most attractive. 

 And now some pics and quotes on Beauty...

Truth, Kev! One of favorite quotes about beauty:

If you’re pretty, you’re pretty, but the only way to be beautiful is to be loving. Otherwise, it’s just "congratulations about your face.”
~ John Mayer

What I have always found to be true, all my life, is that some of the most beautiful people can surprisingly be the most vile, cruel people you'll ever encounter. But at my age, 53 I'm so old, I've realized that I have only just scratched the surface of all the beauty the world has to offer, that I have never seen and will never see. It's truly mind-boggling.

Every one has some beauty within them. Sometimes it's obvious. Some times you have to dig really deep to find it.---Me
