wow.
i just realized one of my methods of distraction

when i'm upset, i have an urge to find something beautiful.

simple. so simple.

something beautiful, to distract my mind, make me contemplate something positive, something with a hope in it.

i like that.

anyway. it's 4 in the morning. i'm allowed to be stupid and obvious.

oh, yes, i absolutely abhorr humans as a whole; i can stand only a few individuals. however, there is truth in what Claire says... going back to the concept of individual perception, some may find a willow tree to be a thing of unspeakable majesty, while others find a soaring cement structure to be equally or possibly even more beautiful. i do not give my own views on this, as they are highly hypocritical; but in any case, one may introduce another theory, that anything may be beautiful to someone, thereby compounding the concept of a universe filled with infinite beauty.

one flaw with this theory is that not all will be able to appreciate all of that beauty, however, like the hypothesis that good could not be appreciated without evil, one may formulate yet another theory stating that beauty could not be appreciated without ugliness, all in the eye of the beholder.

soyes. again, all just theory, and not even (definitely) personal opinion.

i like that point of individual perception... how something that looks very beautiful to one peson seems like nothing special (or even something ugly) to another.

and also the point of not being able to appreciate beauty without ugliness. i can believe this - if there was only beauty in the world... that sounds all nice and ideal, but if one is immersed in beauty and nothing else, one will eventually stop being amazed by it, and the beauty will gradually lose its luster, until it's just a sea of neutrality.

so, in a way, ugliness is all for the best.

lets us know what we're not missing.
