Beauty....

Do we appreciate the beauty around us. Not necessarily in the form of appreciation of beauty in women or handsomeness in men. If a striking beautiful lady passes by, almost all heads are turned towards her. This reminds me of a brilliant photo titled "American Girl in Italy", in which the photographer has captured the heads turned at varying angles, and that too of all ages.

I am talking of beauty of a different manifestation. Now, coming back to the original thread, how many of us appreciate the beauty in nature, art forms, daily life, etc. Do we take the time to do so, or is this a dangerous question? To me, it looks like everyone is in that state of hurry. They are always in a hurry to get there, and upon reaching there, in a hurry to get back.

Well, as Keats has rightly said, A thing of beauty is a joy forever. But, what if no one recognizes the beauty??
