Beauty in its truest sense
Ghytee Baniaga Wangdali
Thousands of words were used to define its depths and its bounds, yet none fully accounted to its genuine substance. Even the natural world portrays it in the most unique manners which words themselves cannot fully explain; such as: the flowers in the grassland speaking of its splendid colors, the waves of the ocean displaying its mighty strength, the moonlit of the night conveying its quietude, the laughter of the infants communicating its virtue, the graceful move of the gentle clouds portraying its tenderness, and the solid ray of the golden sun revealing its glory bestowed on every created thing. Beauty is a power that any living individual would pursue to understand and captivate.
Where does beauty really find its truest sense? In the glimpse of a smile or in the twinkling of an eye? On the perfection of an outward form or on the quality of its internal components? On the richness of a speech or on the velocity of a mind? On the deepest of the soul or in the fullness of the heart?
Beauty is not a thing where we can fully establish a certain standard for its existence. It’s a matter that finds itself within the hearts of men. It’s never complete in parts except when finally, all its components are properly assembled and fitted to accomplish its purpose.
As human beings, we are composed of five most important elements that will eventually create who we are: physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual. Having wholeness and harmony among all of these will mean beauty finally captivated and embraced.
Physically, being complete and beautiful in body parts does not refer to a physical excellence achieved. It is only when these body parts are used on their definite purposes that they gain self-value as a whole. As a fact, physical well being and fitness exercised to attain a higher rate of productivity and efficiency, for the welfare of the person and others would itself expose a physical ability to be beautiful.
Emotionally, having a strong personality is not fully based on how a person surpassed numerous trials, temptations, failures, pain or even sorrow. It is exceedingly necessary that a person develop within him characters that are highly commendable to God and to people. As quoted in Galatians 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, humility and self-discipline.” It is therefore important to inscribe these within us in our pursuit to develop a strong emotional character.
Socially, it’s not on how many our friends or how well established our families and communities are that assures realization of social value. It is in the sincerity of the heart to serve people that we truly find inner satisfaction provided by a good social life. Beauty in this part is in our genuine passion to share our lives with others.
Mentally, wisdom is: neither on how high nor deep our ideas are; how countless the facts that we have learned; how material the degrees that we have earned. It is simply on how we decide to do what is right from what is wrong. Mental beauty is not only a matter of thought and brain but is a matter of action and application of what is absolutely correct and good.
As a whole, beauty in its truest sense is on having a well-balanced personality fit for the purpose to live a life to its fullest. Such as that a man himself will not look into only one aspect to determine beauty, but to consider all what it takes to get the best out of it. In this affair, captivating beauty is not just a matter of defining and comprehending it, but of choosing to develop it within for the benefit of a lifetime.
