The world as a planet is beautiful as is her moon and the skies.

Too true. It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves. How we view the World says more about the viewer than the World itself.

Aye. I can find the world beautiful for what I've kinda listed before and my very best friend could find it beautiful for complete opposite reasons, which does not imply -IMHO - that either my vision or his vision of the world is the right/ wrong one but it surely gives me a very interesting angle to relate to this person better. Still, I'm tempeted to say that the vision of the world says a lot but not all.
(ahh! how I love tuesdays! )

p.s. And funky animals such as penguins/sugar gliders/galagos/marmosettes and such make the world truly marvellous from my point of view. Gotta love 'em!

moses wrote:@ Boudicca To say "the world, and nature in general, is neutral and indifferent", is fundamentally correct. So I suppose the question 'is the world a beautiful place' evokes answers that say more about the person than the World.

Well if you put it that way, then yes, I think the world, and let's not forget the universe it's suspended in, is very beautiful indeed. I just recognize a place for exploding stars and the end of countless worlds (including ours, one day) in that beauty. But of course there's more than enough place for golden eagles and late spring morning and all that sort of thing as well.

And I could think of few better places to illustrate it than up in the vicinity of Ben Nevis... one of my favourite places in the world
