One of the holiday assignments is philosophy. I have to answer some of the questions in my philosophy WS. However, I’ll try not to be limited and will write whatever I can think of as I answer these questions.
This has much to do with the human mind. Humans are hardwired to look on some things as aesthetically pleasing, and this in turn can help improve one’s mood, or help recognise things that may be beneficial to one survival or quality of life. Of course, in modern life, this is more to induce a good mood etc. However, there is also a direct correlation between what “level” of beauty the brain is experiencing, or rather seeing (scientists have found that the brain weighs vision as the most important among its sensory processes), and what “level” of happiness or entertainment the brain or human experiences. If the beauty is external appearance, the person experiences a superficial “happiness”. However, if the “beauty” is because of an act kindness of integrity etc, the person will be more touched, along with the more superficial “levels” of happiness.
However, note that there is no such real thing as beauty. This is only because of the brain’s wiring. And because the wiring of every brain is different, beauty is just perceived.
If seen through a computer’s inputs, then nothing in this world is beautiful. There are only those that are more useful or more efficient than others or healthier or mentally sharp.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
