Is beauty absent in the eyes of the blind?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day!Is beauty absent in the eyes of the blind?
Beauty might be absent in the eyes of the blind, but not in their hearts. The eye is but what we use to sense formal impressions of things made up of light and shade, to give us our sense of a world illuminated by physical light, but we all can sense beauty in many different ways. For instance, we can sense beauty in spoken words, in an assuring touch, in feelings of intimacy and belonging. Then we can sense beauty in humane behaviour and descent conduct, in acts of care, kindness and in love.





I have observed that people who have physical impairments of any one vital sensory organ find their compensation in the extended use of others organs. The people with visual impairment, for instance, I have heard, develop acute sense of hearing and their sense of touch can be times sharper than the people with normal visual capabilities.





Let me relate to you a little story here as an elaboration to what I have just said, someone once asked famous English poet John Milton, who went blind early in his career, as does he realise how beautiful, just like a rose, his wife was. ‘Yes’, sighed Milton in response, ‘I have sensed that beautiful rose by the touch of her thorns’ - this obvious here that Milton’s wife has been harsh on him that morning.Is beauty absent in the eyes of the blind?
Certainly not. For it is said that the blind actually see colors and have a sense of the objects to which they touch and are near. Therefore the beauty as it is said is in the eyes of the beholder. And that which a blind person may sense is most likely less blinded by the material looks of something and therefore has a greater appreciation of the beauty of which he beholds.
Beauty is; ';1. the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).';





So, although beauty is absent in the EYEs of the blind, it is very much present in their mind.
A famous blind musician supposedly was an apreciator of feminine beauty, but saw with his hands.





Radar equipment linked or wired into human brains causes the person to feel the closeness of things.





We do not have to have eyes to visualize shapes, or apreciate beauty in sound or touch, but without eyes the beauty of colour is less able to be felt.
Great question!


No, absolutely not. They probably see 'more' real beauty than those with eyes that can see! They have or develop an inner sense that can see with their imagination and touch. Some can see far better than the rest of us. They are not blinded with the facade of what is seen. They search into the person's heart and have a keen sense of reality. We can learn a lot from those that cannot see. They truly have an advantage over the rest of us!
Is music devoid of beauty?





Is the soft fur of your loving dog devoid of beauty?





Is the fragrance of your favorite smells devoid of beauty?





Are the revelations you perceive as you discover new related relationships devoid of beauty?





Resoundingly, the blind may not see landscapes, but they certainly are not incapable of perceiving beauty!





Their perspectives are only shaped differently.
Love looks not with the eyes,


but with the mind.


Therefore is winged cupid painted blind.





Beauty is the MINDS interpretation of SENSATION as being particularly pleasant %26amp; so is no stranger to the blind.





One would have to lose all sensation to be bereft of beauty.
blind people who were born blind have no imagination of sight.. just as colourblind people dream in black n white.





This doesn't mean that the concept of beauty does not exist to them. To them, beauty is felt or heard, not seen. So yes, it is absent in the EYES of the blind, but not in the fingers, ears, nose and tongue
Beauty and Love are spiritual, of the spirit hence the ability of blind persons to be enamoured with beauty.





Peaceful souls find their peace in the beauty in all things in their little worlds. This is itself a blessing.





May your world be filled with beauty, in people, family, and the words of loved ones...
Sense of hearing, touch, smell and taste helps them to form their own image of beauty. For us those images are weird but for them they are as real as they themselves are.





On the contrary, they are gifted to see and appreciate real beauty in us.





Its we who eyes are full of beauty absence.

depends on if the meaning of blind is literally someone who can't see.. or just someone who can't find peace of mind..


If it's someone who really is blind then no.. people with disabilities see the most beautiful aspects of the world.


and if it's some one who just has.... clouded judgement


then obviously their missing the greater good that life has


to offer...
What is beauty in the first place? If it is visual beauty, then yeah, it's absent in the eyes of the blind. If it is audio, then it's absent in the ears of the deaf. You should define what beauty is first.
I do not think so, as the blind ';see'; with all other senses. In some cases a blind person is more tuned in and ';sees'; more than the sighted. If beauty is there , it is there whether one is sighted or not.
Perhaps beauty is in the ear of the beholder!





I have a friend who is blind, and he reckons that he can tell if someone is attractive just by the sound of their voice.
No, the blind see beauty with the eye of their mind, they use their imagination and all their previous memories... I think...
Beauty sometimes is blind and the blind is beautiful.
beauty is also appreciated by all of ones other senses,perhaps u could ask a blind person what they ';see';.
? Is beauty absent of eyes, or is sight necessary for beauty.
Perhaps they are more likely to see the truest beauty of all.
MUSIC is also a BEAUTY, %26amp; IT just need ears to ';see';
Inner beauty is there for them to see.
no. beauty is not just visual...
I have always wondered this. How would they build up images in thier head if they have no idea to base it on... hmmmm
beauty is felt rather than seen.





thanks
My guess is that...the genuinely blind see much better than most of us; they pay attention.
