Dilemma 50 - "Physical Appearance"

Tags: beauty
Conceivably the most customary issue in the principle of Beauty is whether beauty is subjective— or even objective located ‘in the eye of the beholder’— However, if beauty is entirely subjective—that is, if anything that anyone holds to be or experiences as if your beautiful your just beautiful in all eyes. Would I be presumptuous to believe that every man, woman, or child will behold my beauty? Or would I appreciate their subjective on the beauty of my face? In fact, numerous people, as I have been told find me quite beautiful with a strong emphasis on my facial beauty. But for the numerous that do, I believe that there is a small community that doesn’t. That is really across the board for everyone.  On the other hand, it seems senseless to say that beauty has no connection to subjective response or that it is entirely objective. That would seem to entail, for example, that a world with no perceivers could be beautiful or ugly, or perhaps that beauty could be detected by scientific instruments. Even if it could be, beauty would seem to be connected to subjective response, and though we may argue about whether something is beautiful, the idea that one's experiences of beauty might be disqualified as simply inaccurate or false might arouse puzzlement.

I remember about 10 years ago…. I commented on a well-known actor, I remarked that he wasn’t that attractive to me… and then the person I told this to got some violent she was ready to tear me apart. Then she replied, “You need to get your eyes checked!”
We often disagree concerning the physical beauty of others. We argue and fight to prove our points of who is undeniably beautiful. We debate, share our sentiments in hopes of someone agreeing when indeed its merely a judgment or preference. We often regard other people's taste while trying to prove ours,  when it differs from theirs,  as tentatively showing respect, as we may not, for example, in cases of moral, political, or factual opinions. All plausible accounts of beauty connect it to a pleasurable or profound or loving response, even if they do not locate beauty purely in the eye of the beholder. beauty is subjective from personal experience and preconceived ideas... But also the product of manipulation through passing the media and global conditioning.

Repent of your sins! The only opinion that matters is the one from the Most High.
