Question:

What is your definition of beautiful?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is a really hard thing to define. I guess a general definition would have to be something that's found to be pleasing/"attractive", but to actually define what I'd personally call beautiful would be more than one thing...

There's times when I look out my window as I'm going to bed and see a sunset (I go to bed pretty early these days) and think, "Wow, what a beautiful sunset!" There's other times when I see just a gorgeous woman and just think that she's beautiful, but not in any way even measurable in comparison to the sunset. Then, in terms of people, there's babies that just look beautiful and they're different still. Once more with people, I've been lucky enough to see some people do things that were just so caring and amazing that I thought they were beautiful people (inside) and that still was something so different from the others because it wasn't about any physical characteristics at all. I have a lot of ideas of what are beautiful and I'm sure these examples don't illustrate all the different kinds that just I have in my head.
