I am prompted by Jojo's response that "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" on my blog posting and so I thought it would be opportune to go back to one of my earlier posting in another blog on the subject of "Beauty" and make it current.Wikipedia defines ‘beauty’ as a quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations such as shape, color and sound, a meaningful design or pattern, or something else such as personality.
Beauty can also be described as a quality in a person, place or idea that provides the perceptual experience of pleasure to someone.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is a common phrase attributed to this concept.
Let us apply this concept to a beautiful girl. She attracts us physically by the blinding beauty of her face. We can be delighted by her body shape and her other physical attributes. We can be attracted to her magnetic personality, her motions, emotions and her energy level. We can be in love with her mind. We can fall for her talents in the arts like singing, dancing and in the performing arts.
Does love possess? Most people in love intend to jealously possess. They covet!
Most of all, are lovers, mostly in love with a possession for love, an image or better still, a wild fantasy of one's own cravings?
