What does beauty have to do with life?  In a contemporary culture where the mass media has portrayed the image of beauty as mainly having to do with cosmetics and decorations, our common perceptions may have easily dismissed the significance of beauty in life, society and faith.  Understanding beauty is significant because we love what is beautiful; we pursue beauty.  To not be conscious of why we love what we love, we may find ourselves eventually at a place we never wanted to be.  When we seldom think of the meaning and significance of beauty, we may be insensitive to what allures our hearts.
