In our society physical beauty is both underrated and overstated. Beauty is seen as extremely important socially and trivialized in the same breath as vain or menial. We are preoccupied with it, but non-accepting of it’s value and importance. Awareness of the core need to experience human beauty reveals deep truths about our bodily nature, including fragility, transience, and mortality. We experience a collective sense of guilt with wanting to be beautiful or experience beauty, I think due to our non-acceptance of our own eventual loss of it. Perhaps we could realize that it never truly ends and that we don’t own it in the first place.
