Is there beauty in the world? Is there?

I find myself inclined to agree and disagree with this.

To a newborn? Imagine it. Everything would be beautiful and colourful.

New.
Amazing.
Unexpected.

I've always thought that being born must be the most terrifying experience imaginable. How could anything compare to that?

But reading the words that came to mind, it's not that different to anything I've been trying to experience since. New? Check. Amazing? Check.

Ditto unexpected.

We go through every day battling the mundane and the boring. We fight the repetitive and the monotonous. As Stephen King once said, we rush through everything so that we can do something else.

I wish I could be born again. And remember every bit. What could compare?

For a time, I thought that everything was new. Everything was pure and magical and significant. Then I found that any of those could, under the right conditions, be repeated. And repeated. Then those experiences became old.

So I searched for new experiences. I met new people. I did a hell of a lot of weird shit. A lot of it against my nature. But what the hell... new stuff, right? I saw a lot of shit that people should never see. I did shit that no-one should ever do to people... stuff that I'm still ashamed of.

And you know what? Hardly any of it counts for anything.

Because it's surprisingly little that makes you better as a person. All the good times in the world (and believe me... I'm still trying) don't seem to enrich the core. It's easy to focus on making the edges hold, while the core falls apart.

But the beauty in the world. That's a different story. The look of rocks on the sun. The swell of a beautiful girl's breast. The wind blowing the leaves of a newly green tree in spring. Those matter. They last. I feel better for experiencing them.

They give me a sense of beauty.

And without beauty, what do we have?

I'm just thankful that I'm learning to find it.


What shows you beauty?

What gives you the pit-of-the-stomach feel? What makes you feel that you can't take it any more?

Let us experience it.

I take pleasure in the details. You know, a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.
 
The swell of a beautiful girl's breast doesn't last if she gets like annorexia and goes all bony and boob-less.

If someone was to find no beauty in anything in this world....well that's pretty sad...and what is the point of living then?
Even if everything in your life is going really shitty....surely at least the beauty of nature, animals etc etc can be witnessed and acknowladged.
I'm just trying to think of a situation someone could be in where they appear to be void of all beauty around them....maybe like solitary confinement in prison...well that get some time each day to go outside right? Wouldn't looking up to the big blue sky provide some beauty?
Unless you have an unatural fear and unliking for the sky....and you have nightmares about it and when you then see the sky you relive the nightmares n get really freaked out....

Never was good at trying to put philosophical posts up around here :D
 
Just chillin, watching the sunset with a spliff and a bourbon. After a big days work.
Preferebly at the beach, after a good swim.

That's the shnitzel!
 
Well Jakoz I agree with you for exactly the same reasons that you have.

The fact is, there is beauty in the world, and most of this can be found in nature.

The problem is the complicated mess our species has made for itself. It often necessitates spending most of our days in situations and places we don't like, in the pursuit of something that in itself is an illusion, created by us. Money.

As a child everything was new and great. However that in itself is an illusion created by ignorance of the greater world.

The above reasons are why I love hiking. Life is so much simpler when the only thing you have to worry about is not falling under the weight of your gear. And getting to the distant spot on the horizon you can see, being your only day's work.
 
The brain is a great learning machine
It takes random data -> analyses it -> assigns it to patterns -> then labels them
Subsequent exposure to the same stimulus uses new mental pathways that skip higher level consciousness and maps directly to the concept of the stimulus
Old experiences have been optimised to skip the conscious mind as anything more than a cold intellectual idea

My advice?
Find new experiences or alter your perceptions (from my experience bluelighters are good at both)

for every attraction there is an equal and opposite repulsion. :D

we get to chose what we focus on...
