Defining Beauty, I don't know..., I don't know...

I've never understood that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." idiom or whatever . I get it when there's beer involved, though.

Whoever said "Beauty is the promise of happiness" clearly hadn't met me! Which is true, I believe Stendhal died a while back... 169 years to be precise. Shame. Rest in Peace.

It's a lovely promise I won't lie. But seriously, there's even a song that says "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife." That is proof my dears. Proof that pretty people are the reason behind all the suicides.

Essentially, I don't believe there's a written promise to happiness. And I think that that's what this piece is about. Find your own happiness, not in someone's idea. And if your happiness is in something beautiful, then HEY, Stendhal was right! And you're pretty lucky, I think.

My (beauty)
