By convincing the public that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
According to the Left, beauty is a matter of taste, and arbitrary taste at that. There is no discussion of taste because to give reasons to prefer tasteful to tasteless things is elitist, nasty, uncouth and inappropriate. To have taste implies that some cultures produce more works of art and better than others, and this raises the uncomfortable possibility that love of beauty is Eurocentric, or even racist. To admire beauty has become a hate crime.How We've Been Robbed of Beauty by the Left

Your Say
Once and for all, will we cut through all this Leftist crap, pap, and sappiness?!
Here for God's and our sake is a question of ultimate absoluteness, and only one answer is possible for a human being:
Is a smiling, or gurgling, or weeping, or serious, or food-smeared face of a baby, toddler beautiful -- no matter what its race?
If you answer no, you have defined yourself as of the devil's spawn and the question was misplaced in your direction.
Further, artistic representations are instantly recognized as either beautiful, fascinating, interesting, challenging, indescribable, ugly, ...
If you don't recognize the beautiful in life and art, independent of the other descriptive terms, beat your head against a toilet bowl until you do!

You can't beat your head against a toilet bowl. That would desecrate a million dollar work of art.

Well said, Mother Effingby.
I was remiss above in not honoring those who see more deeply, lovingly, serving those with uncommon and often unrecognized beauty. I speak of Mother Teresa and her kind, of parents of children with Down syndrome, schizophrenia, physical disfigurements.
And who sees the beauty caged in the soul of a vicious psychopath? I don't. One would have to be an awe-full saint to see that deeply with understanding and compassion -- call it beyond beauty. And yet, and yet, there are some who serve the criminally insane, selflessly.
Who writes of the glories of their stories?
Who sees the beauty in that service beyond the call of duty?
