There is an old saying, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.†What may be beautiful to one may not be to another. I do not believe there is a right or wrong answer. It’s a matter of perception. So, let us take a look at some of the measurable character types we can consider, whether they be objective or subjective.
- Shape
- Size
- Complexion
- Intellect
- Personality Traits
- Character Traits
- Emotional Tendencies
- Sensitivity
- Warmth
- Personal Value System
- Personal Ethics
- Personal Interests
- Humor
- Trustworthiness
- Honesty
As you can see the list can go on, and on. I believe the more important issue is, “What is your heart saying to you?†The rest comes over time. Sometimes the recognition or realization of beauty is not a spontaneous event. In other words, it does not present itself all at once. The perception of beauty in its most purest form is something that is developed or realized over time, and it will be particular to whom that perception belongs.
