Why Is Beauty So Important to us?

Our modern days culture DEEPLY values beautiful appearances. A quick look on your social media feed will probably show something almost flawless.

Even before the days of the internet, we were shown models in commercials on buildings and our TV to sell us products that will make us more beautiful. (or sell us this illusion)

It might seem to be a superficial interest that lack much depth and meaning, not to mention the harmful affects on our personal and collective self image as “am I ever going to be beautiful just like that ?”

So why are we chasing this unrealistic idea of perfected beauty after all?
Beauty was valued by ancient cultures as well. Maybe they just honored a different fashion than what we find beautiful today.

The universal concept of beauty and art exists across traditions and cultures: Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty and art, Venus Roman goddess and Ishtar/Inanna in ancient Mesopotamia
are an example for this idea, that art and beauty are a necessity in a human’s life.

That life without art and beauty will be melancholic and extremely gray and boring!

The time of the Renaissance in Europe was also a creative rebirth that shaped these days to be more colorful than others before and after, and most of the art ideas were based on mythological or biblical figures- Dedicating the transcendent activity to the gods, to create new ideals .

Creating a deep relationship with beauty is actually beneficial to your health and self worth. Living in a beautiful space (what ever beautiful means to you!) is reclaiming your idea that you are worthy of living such colorful joyful life.

Cultivating beauty is stating that your are willing to get out from surviving to thriving in your human experience! It’s creating your version of life to a personal celebration.

Forget about the prefect IG version of beauty. perfect is the opposite of natural anyway. And for that- look out to nature, the most beautiful creation and form of art, that is radiating in all her glory. Shamelessly non perfect 🙂
