Beautiful is everything that is pleasing to us, everything that makes us feel good with its existence,if we observe very carefully, everything that surrounds us has that reason to be, everything is designed to be beautiful, "nice", and if there is something that is not pretty for you it is nice for someone else.

Even the ugliest things are done to be perfectbetween their ugliness, achieving a balance which screams perfection

Beautiful means'' That has beauty or attractiveness and it is pleasant to contemplate or to listen.''

Many spend their whole lives trying to please others and themselves by making themselves beautiful and doing beautiful things, and if they do ugly things it is because through them they aspire for riches that will lead them to luxuries, beautiful things.

We worry a lot about our physical appearance, accessories, clothes, hairstyles, colors, paints, make-up, size, weight because we like beautiful things, because we like others being beautiful.


We care so much about owning beautiful things such as magpies, collecting meaningless objects. We love showing off everything that is valuable to us because of its beauty and originality

Does All This Have a Reason to Be?

Survive

The consumer society has taught us that consuming is good for us

'' Life is an act of consumption '' - Jupiter Ascending

from consuming food(which is necessary) to consuming the last useless accessory of the market that for being beautiful we die for owning.

Haven't you thought that behind all this there are millions of people who benefit, who survive at the expense of producing or manufacturing what for many is so useless, but beautiful. Beautiful things dominate us and make the world go round.

People get pretty for simple reasons in the same way aimed at survival:

  • To please others: which helps us to progress through others. A good social life makes life easier for us in many aspects.

  • Pleasing yourself: which gives us security to achieve everything we set out to do.

Taking into account that all this contributes to perpetuate the species through the reproduction that comes after a physical attraction to someone we consider atractive.

After all, beautiful things make us happy, motivate us to be better and generates feelings of tenderness. Beautiful things help us to endure the adversities that arise in life and teach us that life is worthwhile. Beautiful things are not only material things, are all those good intentions, acts of nobility and the love that we long for.

The reason why we like beautiful things is that they conserve life by helping us survive, progress and cope with everything that comes our way.
