Plato and Socrates

Youth is a perfect example of beauty in living form. As animals, humans in particular, grow older they loose their innocence along with some of their beauty. Beyond this there is a kind of inside beauty that only resides in young minds. Their simpler outlook on the world makes for an exceptional form of living. To not worry about the worlds problems, even if the reason for this is because you are not aware of them, makes you simpler and therefore more beautiful and natural. The problems across the globe have a negative effect on ones insides and even outsides; their worry is visible to the world and takes away from their natural features. Youth do not possess this issue; they instead keep the form they were born with and created with, that is close to perfection as something alive can be.
Plato and Socrates both agree that people are stupid. I agree with this in the sense that some people think that there is a perfect human form. In reality this does not exist, It is instead a figment created in the imagination of stupid minds. This image of beauty generally requites the form to be dramatically thin or big in areas that is impossible or would be painful to recreate. This image varies from gender to gender and culture to culture. As a skinny, busty model might be the quintessential beauty in the United States to some people. This is far from the truth in other nations; it would also be far from perfection for a man to acquire features such as large boobs. In China it might be more preferable that the women be dark haired and more petite might be very pretty. Because of these truths it is impossible to capture one image of perfect beauty, as it is different in every nation, gender, and even mind. A woman might be quicker to be proposed as the symbol of beauty but men also strive for this body image. It is impossible, though, to appeal to everyone because one might see tall and muscular as good looking, these may be “turn-offs” to another. Overall beauty is an image that has no one form and is instead just something to be imagined, not to be created in real life.
