(12,802 posts)When I see that photograph I experience a feeling of ... beauty.
I know the feeling when I experience it, but defining "beauty" and understanding this aspect of human nature is another matter altogether.
I like to think it has something to do with our connection to mother earth and the life on our planet of which we are a part. I spend most of my vacation time trying to get closer to nature -- backpacking in the mountains, hiking to waterfalls, and camping by the shore of a lake. I feel a kind of happiness and peace in the wilderness that is lacking in my everyday life of driving to work and sitting at a desk with a computer.
But I must confess I do not truly understand how, or why, the natural world has this effect on me.

(12,802 posts)Perhaps it's enough that beauty is, and that we experience it.
On the other hand, I think we of the human race do need to understand ourselves better if we are to evolve beyond the horrors that mark our history.
