I never can comprehend how people define beauty as something that is ascertained by a pathetically restricted, overwhelmingly visual, set of parameters. We minimize it to an absurd degree.
The idea of beauty has a long and illustrious history - it is the foundation of the branch of philosophy known as esthetics (or aesthetics if you prefer prefixing it with the useless "a"). To know who or what is beautiful requires some subtlety we don't seem to value or have any clue about.
I''d say one of the greatest injustices we've done to our humanity is to have dragged the concept of beauty not only down to skin-deep status, but restricted it to a silly subset of visual cues.
