Truth defines Goodness.
Goodness defines beauty.
Beauty attracts us to Goodness.
Goodness attracts us to Truth.
Truth attracts us to Being.
What is Truth?
"Truth is that which corresponds with reality." - Steve Whigham
What is Goodness?
“Goodness is the right response to reality” - C.S. Lewis
What is beauty?
“Beauty is that which when seen pleases.” - St. Thomas Aquinas
Beauty is a derivative of truth and goodness
If all this is true, what does beauty have to do with your life? When you see beauty, how does that affect your life?
Beauty impacts the world so much. Art, music, theater and dance attracts people because it can lead to goodness, if used properly. Take beauty away from truth and goodness, it is no longer beautiful. What attracts us to a good painting, piece of music, drama, ballet, etc. is is the truth that it could lead to.
To make true beauty start with being, find truth, and realize goodness. If you do that, you can lead people to truth.
