It never ceases to amaze me how ugly modern society is, especially modern architecture. And we deliberately go out of our way to make it so!

The destruction of beauty seems to be both a cause and effect of the breakdown of society. I don't think it's a primary cause, but more of a feedback. Only a broken society would destroy beauty, which further demoralises the populace and discourages the production of beauty.

“To the starving man, bread is beautiful. To the homeless man, a roof is beautiful. To the drunkard, wine is beautiful. Only those who want for nothing else need find beauty in a lump of rock.” Nicomo Cosca.

Most things are beautiful with an open eye. I personally live for the beauty of things. Beauty, which some may have a hard time comprehending. Some of which include; A mushroom and it's gills-beautiful, moss engulfing a fallen tree in the forest-beautiful, the mystery bond we have with our pets when we look in their eyes into their soul- beautiful, admiring the flowers at a supermarket and getting lost in their beautiful colours- beautiful, laying on the ground and feeling the grass in between your fingers as you look at the sky- beautiful, that one hour in the morning when the darkness of night starts melting into day with a whole spectrum of blue being displayed right before your eyes- beautiful. An old abandoned building sitting in a field for the last 100 years and is slowly being consumed and reunited with earth- beautiful, the kindness one displays despite having a lifetime of hardships - beautiful. I better stop there. That's already a lot listed. Beauty is all around us, and it may be subjective, but you have to be a fool not to be able to see beauty.

But because of these peoples industrial education. They have actually no sense of culture or appreciation for anything fine or beautiful.Their houses are full of cheap furniture and their walls are empty. They have helped to destroy the ones thriving art scene in the bay a

The abstract beauty that excites me to find the meaning of life, which suggests me to figure out the answers for all the questions that are existential in nature. How can l live purposefully? Why do l need to live a profound life not in flesh but in psyche?

I think “living” in this sense isn’t so literal as it is that life is just mere existence without beauty.

What of the man who finds beauty in the elegance of science, in the wonders of the cosmos and the pursuit of truth? For him, are beauty, science, and knowledge not one and the same?

I think it's time to get proactive, start creating what you want to see in the world or start paying people to create the things you want to see in the world. Become the architect, the artist or designer or you can just hire them. Either way if you want change, the change starts with you not society or the government, it's the individuals that creates the culture.

We live in capitalism, what do people expect? Capital trumps everything. Why would anyone spent a bit extra to make something beautiful when he can save an extra buck and have it ugly?
