Beauty

If one claimed to know some thing
then that some thing one knew must exist.
If one knew it perfectly, then the thing ought to exist
in the fullest possible sense.

If it did not really exist, then one could not really know it.
This was true of belief, except there was an important difference
that the object of belief did not exist in the full sense.
it was less than real than the object of knowledge
What might be beautiful in a given situation
need not be so in another.

Object of knowledge could never have
a dualistic consequence.
Beauty itself could never be ugly
where as beautiful things could be, depending on the situation.

One who sees beauty is having knowledge
but one who see beautiful things
has mere belief or opinion.
