Beauty is it only skin deep...???

[Terpe]

We do often seem to claim that "beauty is in they eye of the beholder."

Probably because we just know what appeals to our own sense of beauty....we know it when we see it.

But is beauty really a personal phenomenon?
Or is there something more universal we can say about it?

I think our personal idea of beauty is somehow 'hard wired' in our brains, a kind of
chemistry.

We must be doing more than simply recognising a beautiful face.
Are we in fact assessing emotions, personality traits and inner strength as well as physical appearance?

An English author, poet and artist D.H. Lawrence once said:-

"Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness."

I agree with him.

I agree with him.

Me too, and all the more reason not to risk having cosmetic surgery, or even worse, increase the chances of skin cancer by sunbathing or using sunbeds

I agree,... We cannot stop ageing but it is more likely to grow old gracefully than not be able to smile naturally because of the botox
