Default Beautiful world or beautiful you?

Would you rather live in a beautiful world and be ugly or live in an ugly world where only you are beautiful?

Erki, I find that the more beauty I see in myself, the more beautiful I find the world. (it doesn't seem to work the other way around for me, but I imagine people who habitually find the world ugly are reflecting out their own self-loathing.)

How's that for a non-answer?

I totally agree Angela.


Erki.
I have to say, that's a dichotomy what you're saying.

The truth is, what you experience..........is entirely up to you.

Beauty is basically undefinable. Sure, there are things most of us would agree on when it comes to defining certain objects, experiences or places.

But one can be considered ugly and still be beautiful at the same time.

Everything in God's universe is beauty because it comes from the perfection of God. Even evil.

I don't think you can have a beautiful world and be ugly :-)
