BEAUTY..........

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.... this is a famous saying by Keats. True, a beautiful thing does give a pleasant feeling, a soothing effect to the eyes, and brings out the appreciation instantly. But then beauty doesn't lie in the object, it lies in the eyes of the BEHOLDER. There is nothing called beauty or nothing called ugly in this world, these are all abstract thoughts generated in the human mind. The rose is considered to be a beautiful flower but at the same time its thorns are taken to be dangerous and ugly. But do we realize that its these thorns which provide protection to it, and help to preserve the beauty of this flower. Cactus in this regard can be described as the ugliest of all, but plant lovers have elevated it to the status of a decorative ornamental plant. Thus, its the sight and vision which determines the status of beauty. Nature has given beauty to all its creatures, it is now on the onlookers to search for it in the surroundings. There is something beautiful in all objects and organisms all around us, it depends on us as to how we perceive it.
