I'm on a spree. I have a few questions that keep popping my mind. I want to drop them here and would love some reactions and comments.
Beauty Beauty is an issue that's been occupying me for some time. Similar to the excellent quote "There is no thinker behind the thoughts" (thanks Avalonians) I recognise greater truth behind "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" every day. As an artist I often hear that beauty is the divine presence. I am also aware that if I was enlightened enough, probably everything around me would be beauty. Nevertheless, I am bothered why beauty can be abused for evil purposes. I know beauty is an entity which of itself has no alignment. But to see it as a tool feels wrong. Especially when facing the ideas of sex and pornography, I wonder where the line can be drawn. I understand that the propagated obsession with sex and its effects but I can not settle the dichotomy between divine beauty and the evil it is used for. I have asked very similar questions several times, all seem to be related to 'good and bad' and the 'divine' or 'singularity' and have received brilliant answers. I do think I'm learning from this. I also understand that the 'bad' is my chance to learn and rise above. Yet if anybody could remind me what the connection is with these specifics I'd be eternally grateful. All the best, Czymra |
