I am out of my league here.

I was hoping to bypass a discussion of material vs. spiritual, and delve into quality.

I am a big Deming fan. A product not only has to look good, it has to be good.

Beauty is also an illusion. It is temporary, and it is vanity. But, it is also real. As real as it gets. And a woman knows it is temporary. But she wants to feel beautiful forever.

But what defines beauty? Does a woman need a man to make her feel beautiful? Is beauty a feeling, then?

Now, I think beauty is eternal. And that Plato was wrong. Extremely wrong. Beauty redefines itself on Earth. It does evolve. Beauty does not try to achieve some ideal.

Ideals try to achieve beauty, and beauty is elusive. And beauty is only found in this world.

And that is what I think.

I think that beauty is woman. And that man has nothing in exchange. And that is what makes beauty beautiful.
