Beautiful vs Ugly






Beautiful
I chose this jewelled necklace as a beautiful object because it is delicate and shiny. Also, I adore the multi-colored stones on this necklace as they represent different views of beauty. When I wear this necklace, I feel very joyful. Therefore, I think it is a beautiful object.
To me, beauty is a feeling. There is no direct right or wrong answer for what beauty should be. If you feel comfortable around something, or take pleasure in it, then it is beautiful to you. No one else has the right to tell you otherwise.

Ugly
I picked this old plastic bag as an ugly object. The reason is that even though there are designs and colors on it, because it was thrown to the floor unnoticed, people didn’t bother to pick it up. In fact, because of neglect, it became so deteriorated that it is now considered garbage. That is why this plastic bag is ugly.
Ugliness is not only about appearance. It is a direct result of something that makes you feel uncomfortable. Although something may start out as beautiful, if you don’t take care of it, it can turn into something you detest. This action is absolute ugliness.
