or beautiful?
Is a sparrow as
beautiful as a cardinal?
Is rarity or contributor to
the label of beauty?
Beauty can be an attribute,
a commodity, a trophy,
a cultural, a
object of veneration
for one elated by beauty.
It can be something real—something that
merges spirit and appearance.
It can be male, female,
animal, nature, art, ugly,
invention, writing, culture.
Beauty is compromised,
possibly damaged when
commodified. Beauty is
explicitly destroyed. - Rights
