I am confident to say beauty is one of the most important aspects of all reality. We evolved over millions of years to identify what is beautiful and what is ugly in a way to protect our species. A desert can have its own beauty, but it will never be as beautiful as a blooming...

...forest. We don't procreate with ugly people, because it usually means bad genes we don't want to pass to the next generation. We may find beauty in almost all natural things, even in an animal devouring another, but the point is that through beauty we can see what is good...

...and what is not. That is because there is a spiritual aspect to beauty. Killing an innocent person will never be considered beautiful in the view of a sane person, because it is vile. One animal eating another, though, can be seen as "good" because it's only natural...

...and it's necessary to preserve balance in nature, and we understand that.
Art is a way to immitate the beauty in nature. We do it by picking the basic instincts innate on us to make things that please us, both phisically and spiritually. The art we appreciate tells much about

...us. Appreciate bad art, and you're ugly. Appreciate good art and the chances you're a virtuous person are greatly increased. Notice the word I used, "appreciate" instead of "consume". If you do not appreciate what you're consuming, then you probably shouldn't be consuming it.

Appreciating good things mean you have discovered the virtues that are necessary to actually appreciate them. A person who does not appreciate what is good, and views what is ugly as beautiful, is "ugly", broken, spoiled. Not in the physical sense, but spiritually.

When we consume the beautiful art, we are touched by a portion of the spirit of nature. It is, though, only a *portion*. No man-made art can ever surpass the beauty of nature and things natural. If you can't be near nature, though, looking at beautiful paintings may invoke a...

...feeling similar, although not as powerful, of actually being in presence of nature. That is why everyone should be very careful at what they enjoy. Of course, nobody is perfect, we will probably enjoy some silly things, but it's necessary to filter what you enjoy.

Most people today, though, are broken, and can't appreciate what is beautiful. That is probably because of propaganda, and we must fight against it, and bring these lost souls back from the sewer they're in spiritually.

They may think themselves happy, those who have never experienced true happiness. They may think they're clean, those who were always amidst filth.

What would the true beauty be, though?
I would say anything that immitates nature is good. Skill also plays a huge role in it, as a talented musician will very possibly be more pleasant to listen to than a person who never picked up an instrument in their lives.

If a person is virtuous, skilled and a "master" of their craft, they will make the best music. "Spiritually-beautiful" people are possibly the ones we should consult when talking about beauty, as beauty is more spiritual than physical. Beauty in art is the expression of the soul.

"But if a bad person makes music, will their music be considered beautiful?"
No. A virtuous person is necessarily in touch with the spirit of nature in one way or another, but a bad person isn't, otherwise they wouldn't be bad.

You can clearly see that when looking at mainstream modern music. It's made by "soulless" people, those who seek material gains, not beauty, and we all know modern mainstream music is ugly. They do not seek beauty because they're ugly, void, spoiled.

If their music is an expression of their soul, then it shows their soul is void, shallow and ugly.
Bad people are able to make good music, though, and vice-versa. When bad people make good music, they understand what beauty is, but keep it separated from their art, instead...

...of applying it to their lives. When good people make bad music, they probably lack the skill, or still don't fully understand beauty.

So remember, ugliness is evil, beauty is good. If you promote beauty, you're almost certainly virtuous. If you don't, you're certainly not.
