Word of the Day: *Beauty*

Word of the Day: *Beauty*

1. Beauty is the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind:

Whether arising from sensory manifestations, as shape, color, sound, etc., a meaningful design or pattern, or a personality in which high qualities are manifested.

So cocaine is beautiful?
Word of the Day: *Beauty*

2. One difficulty in understanding beauty is due to the fact that it has both objective and subjective aspects:

It is seen as a property of things but also as depending on the emotional response of observers. Because of its subjective side, beauty is said to be "in the eye of the beholder".
