Aesthetics are the reason we live. We couldn't live without truth, we seek it, we value it above all else. Truth is inherently beautiful. We don't love truth because if we didn't have it we would stay with our cheating boyfriend for longer than we should have. Truth is inherently beautiful. This is not to say that beauty is truth, although some may go so far as to say this. Each work of art has an element of truth, even if the piece is not beautiful, that truth being the reasons why it was created in such a way and what the artist intends to express in and through the work. This truth behind even the ugly painting is beautiful, makes the painting beautiful. I am the truth, for it is only to myself that something can be held to be true; what this is, that I want to be heard, is beauty itself.
