Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The idiom 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' means people don't always see eye to eye. That's to say something that you think is beautiful may not be regarded or considered to be beautiful by others.

For example, many of us may have enjoyed the June blogathon (last month's writing challenge), while some may think it's pointless or meaningless to write so many blogs in such a short period of time.

Some people may enjoy something which is readable or reader friendly or easy to read, while some may find a blog so cool which is witten with so many uncommon, tough or difficult words - showcasing the broad vocabulary.

No wonder people often argue about something. Some people may sound like they're so eager to talk others into believing what they said is true. Those who come from a different country, religion, or culture may have different opinions, so how come you think everybody should have the same opinion as you?

Yes, people's opinions vary. It's not a matter of right or wrong. It may not be so unbearable or intolerate if you try to embrace or enjoy the difference - should it be a sour/harsh comment or complete nonsense - not to mention that some such comments could be so useful when it comes to learning English.

It depends on our interests, I guess. :)

Appreciate each other and accept the differences points, they will show us that we are human beings who live in a colorful world.

Yes, it is true that which is great in my eyes would be the worst in other eyes.

Variety is the spice of life but I have no idea why when It comes to practice we couldn't accept other opinions. We haven't learned how to respect ideas which differ from our ideas. Thanks for your nice writing.

Your blog is in clarification of some different opinions by the commentators, is timely needed and well suited.

Thanks for the posting.

Hello Expector! It's been a while since we last crossed paths. I loved reading this and agree completely. By sheer coincidence I happened to attend a class of one of my fellow counselors today that's subject matter paralleled that of what you've posted (at least it did to me). Anyway, give it a look if you get the opportunity. I'll post the link for you. Luckily, THE COFFEE HOUSE OF SURAT is one of Tolstoy's shorter writings. :) http://www.online-literature.com/tolstoy/2737/
