I fully agree with what you saying.Our lives would be so much simpler and we’d be able to see the “beauty” all around us.

Sorry David, I find your use of language just too complex and although, I am sure your message had profound meaning it unfortunately for me, got somewhat lost in the words. As far as my perception is concerned, all things are neutral. Neither good nor bad, ugly nor beautiful except for the label we prescribe them when viewed through perception. There is an old saying of which I am reminded and it goes, One man’s meat is another man’s gravy. So maybe, we would do ourselves and everything else on this tiny spinning ball an immense favour if we just stopped being so judgemental and simply learned to accept that which is, IS.

I’m by no stretch of the imagination a psychologist. However, perhaps very few people know beauty unless they’re told it to be so through media, general public acceptance or publicity. I’m fairly sure that we can each find something that we’ve seen, heard or tasted that we have come to think of as beautiful, purely though media and or peer pressure.. Perhaps not “beautiful” but certainly we seek an element popular, consensus when making those illusory choices of taste and beauty, hence dulling the capacity to discern through our own, consequently underdeveloped, imagination.
I hope that made sense?

The trouble with the stressed human condition is that although we are all travelling on the same train, which is ultimately travelling in the same direction, most of us seem to forget, that we can choose which window we look out of and therefore, choose the perspective from which we see the things of life.
