As you should find in the text, " ‘Beauty’, however defined, is not necessarily attractive. And ugliness is not always repulsive. Besides, tastes change". In the article below it talks about how do we know, what we know to be ugly is actually that? Without the ugliness in our lives, how would we know what was beautiful, is? My favorite line in the article is this, " Peter Schleldahl, the US art critic said ‘Beauty is … no big deal, but the lack of it is’. Maybe, but if everything were beautiful … nothing would be." And I find that very true.
