Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.
-John Donne

Love & Beauty

The above quote by John Donne is a pretty good observation.

It is what melodramas are made of.  🙂

As human beings we do love beauty, physical beauty.  We admire it as it is a step forward toward perfection.

Apparently there was a brain scan study made which found that when a person sees a beautiful thing, a good design or an attractive object, a part of the brain,  the motor cerebellum, which control hand movement is triggered.

So reaching for something beautiful is really quite natural.  No wonder most museums and shops have the ‘Don’t Touch’ signs!  🙂

What happens when that something beautiful is no longer than pretty, does the motor cerebellum then tells the hands to drop it?!!!

Love with your heart and not with your eyes!
