I felt the suicide thread needed a counterweight.

I think almost everything is wonderus and beautiful, it's that rare ability of the child that I am very lucky to have been able to preserve, this dosn't necessary mean I'm permanently happy or that things are good, because beauty is not everything and does little to negate the bad things in the world, but it's sill something to think about.
There is one thing I think ugly, and that's humans in most (but not even all) of their aspects. But other than that you'd be hard pressed to find something I could not argue for that it's beautiful in some manner.

This thread has 3 purposes:

• List things that you think are beautiful! As many as possible, and in the cases were it is not obvious please add a motivation!
• Post things you cant imagine anyone thing is bountiful, and challenge me (or others!) to motivate why they actually are beautiful!
• Post images or links to things that are beautiful!

As for defining "beuty", there are many diferent kinds and defentitons of it and tastes and opinions abaut it, and all of them are alowed, just keep to the forum giudlines abaut the NSFW kind thou. The thread is mostly for abstract or trancendent beuty stypes thou, like mathematical beuty, or a beautiful creature or landscape, or a work of art or handmade craft that is beautiful. Do not confuse artfulness with beauty thou, while they often correlate, they are many works (especially modern art) that are very artsy but that few would consider beautiful. (I usually do consider art stuff beautiful, even f it's not directly and visually. Likewise, even thou I dislike "human" beauty it is very much allowed in the thread.)

I would ad some of those examples of things beautiful, but I'm a bit pressed for time, so that'll have to wait until later today or even tomorrow.

I don't know if it can be defined as beauty, but I think the fact that predators can get over their instinct and befriend smaller animals is beautiful.

As cliche as this example sounds:

I was in one of my university's parking lots, at around 5:30 in the afternoon, hanging with my friends, talking about some stuff.

The sun starts going down. I see it dimly through a haze of cigarette smoke.

Have you ever watched a sunset?

It's one of the most transcendent things I've ever seen. It was like all of the plays in the world rolled into a single cathartic moment.

In closing: Sunsets are beautiful on the right days.

Dude, this thread was supposed to be a counterweight to the suicide thread.

[Hungry]

There can be no such counterweight...but all the same...I'll be "nice".

[Muz]

I think by "counterweight", it's "something not depressing"
