"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."
― Plato, Greek philosopher
The above quote holds true in so many ways. Every mother finds her child to be beautiful, while the mother is the most beautiful woman on earth to her child. Tasting an apple pie is beautiful; making mushroom soup for your loved ones is beautiful. Listening to a 'Happy Birthday' song sung to you by your friends and family is beautiful; putting on the wedding ring your spouse gifted you is beautiful. The help of strangers is beautiful; doing random acts of kindness is beautiful.
Life, in short, is a pursuit of beauty―finding beauty in people and events and ultimately realizing the beauty of your own soul. We search for beauty everywhere. We tour all around the world in search of beauty. We go sightseeing to admire nature's bounty. We indulge in cuisines from all over the world. We adulate the culture from different parts of the world―the music, traditions, festivals, greetings, and the language.
