Flawed flawlessly beautiful

The famous lines Beauty is truth, truth beauty', that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know' are taken from the Ode On A Grecian Urn by John Keats. It emphasizes the identity of beauty and truth.

Human life as important as those which arise from the spoken or the written word. Truth and falsehood are qualities that belong to the work of our hands as well as the words of our lips and are often more eloquent to the eye than the words can be to the ears.
They are expressed by our whole personalities, by our characters, by our conduct, by our general talk and conversation in the world. Great truths are often communicated by works of art: literature, sculpture, architecture, painting, films or other effective media understood by humans.
Every portrait painted is either a truth or a lie or a mixture of the two. Its beauty depends on the degree of truth, and honesty depicted in it. It also represents the character of the painter.

Our imperfections make us perfect.
So all humans are flawed? Lie or truth?  

We can never understand beauty as an isolated thing, self-supported or hanging in the air. A thing of beauty always appears in a personal context, conditioned by the person who creates it and for the persons or the era to which it is focused.
In fact, beauty and truth, like arts and sciences, form together a kind of commonwealth in which each serves the rest and is in turn served by them. As we know all knowledge is one-all-comprehensive and well-connected.
Truth is a beautiful operation, a dynamic thing which does its beneficent work in a personal and social context. On the other hand, a lie is an offensive operation performed by one man upon another.

Music is even more powerful in the sense of form and beauty than other arts, as it manifests perfect expression of harmony, and inspires in the audience a new aesthetic perception. The importance of painting and sculpture is hardly less.

  1. Behind every Lie there is a degree of the Truth, same apllies with behind every Evil is a degree of Good! In order for the Truth to become the Truth, a Lie must be know or understood...@MokD21

  5. I agree with you, we all see beauty in our own way. Whether something is beautiful or not is dependant on how you see it.
