Some people like to say that beauty is definitive; that the subject in question must fit a certain description, or that it needs to possess certain qualities. Think about this though: What if there are actually no guidelines for beauty at all? What if everything is beautiful, and some people are too ignorant to see it?
It's not only humans and little furry animals that are be subjected to scrutiny over whether they are deemed beautiful or not. However, most of the time, that's what it seems to be. When you open your eyes to the world around you, you may begin to notice little things that are beautiful, in their own, unique way. For example, next time you are out on a walk, take the time to really see what is flourishing in your area. It may be a spider, spinning its web in silence; it may be a group of friends relaxing together. Whatever it is. just make sure to recognize the real beauty of this world.
The same thing can be applied to music. A song that sounds like it is simply made of clashing sounds may actually be something beautiful. It all depends on how much you subject it to scrutiny. I found this video while aimlessly wandering around on YouTube. It is of people hitting various instruments one note at a time. At first, it does not seem like much, and may even sound slightly off. However, when you pay closer attention, you start to hear the underlying melody, and, eventually, a song is produced. It just takes a while and a little attention to hear it.
Just remember: Not everything needs to be subjected to scrutiny. Maybe, without it, more things in the world will be seen as the beautiful things they are.
