A lowly carp

By FallenHero

what is beauty?
is it good or is it evil?
Beauty can lift men to the higths of their art giving new meaning to the world around us, while it can drive others to the depths of dipravity, destroying the very thing driving them to such insanity.
man has searched the faces of the women around him the since the begining of time looking for beauty, yet it changes from on generation to the next. Does this mean that none has yet to poses beauty, or that all that is beautiful will have allready been possesed before we can begin to look?
Is beauty found in a face? can it be an idea? the slightest memory of a laugh?
Is there such a thing as beauty? The word is to an idea. that is all words are, a way for us to share ideas. A word is really just a short deffinition for an idea to get us all on the same page. Yet I can not define beauty. Can there be a deffinition to a word that cant be deffined? I can give you examples but no deffinition. What if beauty is something we all have needed so much that we created the idea of it, but it never truely exsisted. What if we made it to have a reason to wake up in the morning, while there truely has never been one. What if this nightmare isall we get.
