Someday I'll answer that age old question!

Hi!

So I should really go to sleep soon. Somehow I ended up answering questions on yahoo answer (it's become a random thing for me to pass some time!).

The age old question I'd like to answer if "what is beauty"

You see, the funny thing about philosophy is that the questions being asked are usually things based on personal preference. In order to truly understand the answer, we'd have to go through life asking everyone and getting their answer because everyone is different. We can't make a factual statement until we examine every piece of life!

Orrrr, we can investigate it and come to a decent conclusion, a kind of closure for ourselves.

For philosophers, I've read that they're not necessarily looking for answers. I think they're looking for questions. The moments there's an answer, there's another question. When there's a fact, the fun is gone lol Imagine if before you asked a question you knew the answer. It's no fun without something to chase.

So rather than saying I'll ANSWER this question, I'll elaborate or....hm....I'll give some insight. Yes, insight is a good word.

Thinking about it, the question isn't so vast now that I think about it. If I take  this question and limit it down to what people chase when they claim something is beautiful, I'm sure there's some common ground. I'm sure it's possible! Just wait for it. :)
