Since Heaven and He are one.

    beauty? shes right. there is no definition…it varys.
    everyone sees beauty in different forms. from make-up and curls to sunsets and sunrises. beauty is the most common thing among this earth

    What is beauty? How is beauty perceived? Throughout the world men and woman of all ages seem to be overly concerned about their beauty, both the inside and out. Everywhere that you go or travel you see different forms of beauty. No matter where you go, beauty is a top concern of most people worldwide. People want to look good, and depending on where you live or what culture you were born into, your perception of beauty may be different than others. There should not be such a concern about such a beautiful thing…we are all beautiful in our very own ways.

    This poem really got me when i read it. Emily has made a very visible point. What is the definition of Beauty? There isnt one. There in no way to define beauty in anyway. yes they have the so called “definitions” now..But what is the real definition? Think about that.
