One in particular that is rather disturbing to analyze is the ideas of Beauty that are perceived by some people. Beauty can be interpreted in many ways and some say “it’s in the eye of the beholder”.

Nature and its surroundings whatever happened to its beauty? For centuries natural beauty has been in our own environment. Creations beyond our knowledge and pleasant to the eyes view as heaven itself. The idea of beauty does not have to pertain only to humans it can be in nature, in a painting, or a melody. It all leads back to what our own unique perspective perceives as beautiful. The website breaks beauty into three categories nature, man made, and inner beauty.

Inner beauty is vital to the overall persona of someone. Being attractive but stuck up won’t get someone far. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and is the combination of inner and outer build perceived by others.
