ugliness only exists in the world of duality
it is only meaningful in relation to “beauty”
beauty which you reduce to some vulgar ranking
there is beauty which is not relative
beauty which just is
it just is — and when you don’t compare it to nothing — it is free from having to relate to something
it is therefore complete and unadulterated, it is perfect
it is not degraded by your comparison, by your ranking, by your criticism
we compare things to our detriment
we make rankings
we seek objectivity
where there is none
to our detriment
we are so obsessed with beauty
and yet our entire pursuit is void
we seek objective beauty
we seek betterment
we are ambitious
to our detriment
and beauty eludes us
we are so obsessed with beauty
to be beautiful
to own beautiful things
to own beautiful people
to own beautiful life
and real beauty eludes us
and real beauty betrays us
and real beauty shuns us
and we’re so small and mediocre and so petty
“beautiful this beautiful that”
and we know nothing of beauty
do you want to know beauty?
do you want to know beauty?
I want you to be simple
I want you to move slow
I want you to pay attention
I want you to look at something “beautiful”
and study it
like it’s the only thing of beauty there ever was
like it’s the last thing you’ll ever see
and like there’s is nothing else, absolutely nothing else, but that thing
and without RELATING IT
without COMPARING IT
without OWNING IT!
without thinking much, or at all
just studying it
feeling it
experiencing it
loving it
loving it
beauty
love
