Beauty?

1) What is so beautiful about youth?

Basically, anything is beautiful about youth. Youth is something that radiates lots of energy and happiness that it spreads from one person to another. It's like a disease but a very good one, one that a lot of people would like to catch. It's contagious and gives you a warm feeling inside. The main beauty of youth is seeing someone full of life and happy with how their life is going, not letting the bad times get in their way and going on not knowing the troubles that await them yet ready to face everything that world has to offer them.


2) We know what "perfect" most likely means to Socrates by looking at ancient Greek sculpture and art and drawing inferences, but he doesn't describe this "perfect" human form. What are your thoughts on the idea of a "perfect" human form today? What is it in your culture for men? women? What are your thoughts surrounding those ideals?

There is no perfect human form because no one was made perfect in this world. We all have flaws and that is what makes us who we are. If we all were perfect then there would be no one who was unique, no one who was better, no competition. Competition is a way for people to push themselves to the limit to see who is better, if there's perfection then everyone would be the same and boring person who can do anything.

"Beauty is not in the face, beauty is the light in a heart"

-Kahlil Gibran-
