सुंदरता क्या है?

प्राचीन यूनानियों से लेकर उम्बर्टो इको से लेकर इंस्टाग्राम इन्फ्लुएंसर्स तक सभी इस प्रश्न का उत्तर खोजते रहे हैं। क्या खुद 'सुंदरता' की उन लोगों के प्रति जिम्मेदारी है जो इसकी प्रशंसा करते हैं? सुंदरता के समक्ष क्या सबका बर्ताव बदल जाता है?

Few sons are like their fathers – many are worse, few better. ~Homer

These lines stand testament to the fact that sons will always be seen as a reflection, and at times an extension, of their father. From Greek tales to Shakespeare and movies...an abiding story is one of the push and tug that makes for this tangled, tough, beautiful, tender relationship.
