\"\"<\/p>\n

Confucius said, \u201cEverything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a lovely quote.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

I used that quote on a photograph of a crab.\u00a0 Cute.\u00a0 That image even won first place recently in a Fine Art America contest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the description of the image I asked the following questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything has beauty. Does it? What is it about this crab that has beauty?
\nWhat about life around us? How often do we really see the beauty in everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wrote that description and asked those questions as an inspiration to see more beauty in the everyday world around us.\u00a0 Noble intent.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

But, really \u2013 does everything have beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is beauty, like art, in the eye of the beholder?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about garbage?\u00a0 Does it have beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about clutter? Does it have beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about war?\u00a0 Does it have beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything has beauty\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspiration, true statement or motivational quote?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food for thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n
