Perception of Aesthetics
« on: April 16, 2009, 11:59:51 AM »
"Knowingly allowing oneself to percieve the world as anything less than we are capable is a grotesque evasion of the true nature of aesthetics."
 
 What are aesthetics but a chaotic dance? It is not merely viewing the floor from an end table, but truly grasping the erradic and chaotic nature of its movements. It takes observation and perception before one can truly participate in the dance. Then again, knowing the movement of the masquerade is one thing. Perception is a completely foreign take on beauty. For, what aesthetic pleasure could a hideous, uncoordinated swing deliver? Implications of orchestrative chaos.
 
 Again, it is not the way we see the dance that matters! The saying goes, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder", which thus forth allows us to realize that the chaotic nature of our existence is utterly and purely subjective.
 
 The object is not what is beautiful. It is not the chair you are sitting in, the paper this is written on or the moon that lights this page. It is the raw and unfiltered perception of aesthetics that equates the correlation between fantasy and reality.
 
 But, what is fantasy, you ask?
 
 We created it, of course! The imaginative perception of a world that does not exist, influenced by our own world, which does. To properly concieve the former, we must be utterly aware and all knowing of the latter.
 
 On a clear day, peer to the horizon. There is no knowledge of what lies past it, but sensical and scientific knowledge tells you that there is indeed something there.
 
 We all possess the ability to assess and analyze the world.. In blissful ignorance that the person next to you is looking at it in a completely different sense of aesthetics. Would this not affect our perception of fantasy?
 
 If early religious philosophers had percieved the act of sex as the most hideous of agonies, the concept of eternal damnation (as we see it today) would consist solely of a neverending orgasm!
 
 What of human interaction and politics? Merely human entities acting upon there proper analysis of the world around them and how it should be in their eyesm but using that perception and clever deception to influence the beings around them.
 
 "Wherever you look, there is something to be seen"
 
 Know this, and be wary; The stars you gaze into tonight, basking in the pleasure of aesthetics and formation of fantasy, will infuriate and scorn the eyes of many more tomorrow.

I like it. Just a few things you might want to think about.

Erratic.

You might want to use "orchestrated" in stead of "orchestrative".

As this will mostly likely be read on a computer, the moon will not be lighting it. I get the point but a minor technically will drive me nuts unless I say something about it.

I know what you mean, I originally wrote it on paper though. I'm glad you liked it, I'll change a couple things and post a v2.0.

            I agree we must be active about our different perception in one thing.

Dude!  Don't hate just because you're not deep enough to understand the beauty of this thread.  This thread is timeless, man.  Beauty is timeless, man.  The man that created these deep thoughts in this thread is both beautiful and timeless, man.  You just don't understand, man.  On the other hand, you're simplicity is also beautiful and timeless, so maybe you should continue.  I only ask that you continue in an aesthetically pleasing manner.  Man.

And now, a poem:

The phone is ringing
and I cannot linger.
Watch out butt
here comes my finger.
