1. What is so beautiful about youth?
I don't see beauty as smooth skin or skinny bodies or anything that has to do with looks at all. Beauty is all a matter of perspective, as I said below in my last post and it matters solely on your mind. The beautiful thing about being young is that you have so much time ahead of you in your life and so much more to learn, so much more wisdom to obtain. You're carefree and unaware of the judgment that people put on each other! Being young is where you carve the bridge to your future life. “In youth we learn; in age we understand”
2. We know what "perfect" most likely means to Socrates by looking at ancient Greek sculpture and art and drawing inferences, but he doesn't describe this "perfect" human form. What are your thoughts on the idea of a "perfect" human form today? What is it in your culture for men? women? What are your thoughts surrounding those ideals?
Italian women and men, as my mother says, like "voluptuous" women and also believe that beauty is in the mind. I think that today's view of beauty is messed up… the philosophy that "skinny is beautiful"… You dont have to be skinny and have a cute face to be beautiful. That's just what Americans see these days. I think it's wrong! but that’s just what I think.
