Beauty is when you can justify something's existence even if it has no practical application.

 

[Daffy F]

beauty is the in the eye of the beholder

and it may, at times, become necessary to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

OP: beauty is intangible and different for everyone. i, for instance, find 2D graphics to be beautiful in their simplicity and square edges.

I like square edges :] They are so sort of funny and nice. Also, for some bizarre reason on CoD:MW2 whenever I reload the Vector I get a little feeling of satisfaction. It's just such a beautiful reload sequence :')

Normally colorful and wide open space. That's what I think at least.

Alright, but in which of his many eyes? The big one or one of his eyestalks?
sorry, couldn't resist... this is a gaming forum, after all

OT: Beauty changes over time, and I don't mean beautiful things rot and crumble, but as you grow older, your perception of beauty changes. I guess subconsciously, it all comes down to association. Something or someone seems beautiful because you associate it with a nice emotion.

I'm a creationist, so I believe that all things, good and evil, retain some sort of beauty. God made everything so everything has it's appeal... even Hell, I guess.

A Miss Piggy quote!! Awesome!

OP: If you think it is beautiful, then it is. I know, this is just a re-wording of the eye of the beholder thing, but it really is true.

It's the only word with three vowels one after the other.

BAHAHAHAHA!
OT:
Beauty can't be defined by words. It is what you feel. You can feel the beauty of a very moving painting, or you can feel the beauty of a great poem. That is what beauty is.

Honour to the new guy. I was going to say this as well.

And I don't know if anyone has done this, but here goes anyway.

Um, when I joined I wasn't warned about the basement. Why can't I go down there?

I went to the basement....It reminds me of Andale.


OT: Beauty is stuff and stuff is everything that cannot be explained, therefore beauty is unexplainable, and therein lies its own beauty.

Entirely this.

"Beauty" like art, are two of the most subjective things I can think of.

Can I add existence to your list?

Behold, I have categorized it for you.

 

[Brandon237]

For such a practical person I love philosophy, probably because "those other people my age" understand me even less when I let loose with my slightly crap philosophy.

OT: Beauty is completely in ones own opinion, and always for different reasons. There are those things/ people that are "Well formed" and therefore generically beautiful. However these are nothing special, that which is truly beautiful to you is that which moves you and gives you that sudden, relaxed, all is well feeling. It is something that is both timeless and makes you wish to remain in that moment forever.

That's my 2010.04.09 cents worth on the topic.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

watch a tree or hug it, that's beautiful.
