What is beauty? According to the dictionaries, it is a group of some features- like colors' harmony, shapes' proportions and similar- making us like something or someone. Moreover, beauty is considered an important moral value. We love looking at beauty, we all want to have something beautiful around us. Some people claim that only beauty can make them truly happy.
However, is it good that we consider beauty so valuable? Each time we meet a handsome man or a pretty woman, we think that they are not only beautiful, but also intelligent and generally good. We all estimate the value of a person on a basis of his or her appearance. It often happens that we are disappointed after meeting such person closer. We often realize that a person, who is ugly is more valuable than a pretty one, although at the beginning we may think otherwise.
We may say that there are two sorts of beauty- the spiritual and the material one. The material one is dependant on time and may easily change into something different. The spiritual beauty cannot be so easily seen, but we can recognize it by our mind and heart. It means the purity of the soul and psyche of a person. It is not temporary, but lasts over time. It is difficult to say exactly what makes the spirit of a person beautiful, but when we meet such person, we always know, that there is something special in her or him. But recognizing that kind of beauty or even meeting it may take very long time. However- it is worth to wait for it.
In my opinion the most important is moral beauty. Whenever we want to call someone beautiful, we should at first consider, if that person has a good hierarchy of values. It is especially important when we fall in love with somebody. The most important conclusion to remember is- we cannot judge about the beauty of any person only considering the external features- we always have to look for it inside the soul of a person.
