What is Beauty?

What is beauty? I believe beauty can mean many different things. Obviously it means the outside appearance of something is “easy on the eyes.” This just means that it is good looking. I think it can go further though. My theory is that beauty is only skin deep and though something may long beautiful, does not mean that is what you are going to get on the inside. You can buy a shiny apple just to find a worm in it. You can buy a fancy looking car just to find out that it has not run in twenty years and it is rusted under the hood. You can get a beautiful girlfriend or boyfriend just to find out that he or she is a real jerk. Another famous saying that I believe in is the one that says do not judge a book by its cover. If you were to go and try to find a girlfriend or new car based strictly on good looks, then likely as not, you are not going to have any luck finding anything worth your time. I think in order to fully understand what the term beauty truly means, we need to attempt to define ugliness. Ugliness is something that is not pleasant to look at. Ugliness in human forms would be a girl that no one wants to go out with. Everyone has their own definition of ugliness. It is the same way with beauty. Beauty and ugliness can both be determined once you get to either know the person, or see the object inside and out. You need to find out what is on the inside before you make any judgment on whether it is beautiful or ugly. All in all, I believe that you cannot determine beauty just from outside appearances.
