My definition of something that is beautiful

1. My teacher Alex once told me whether a painting was good or not was to look at the internet version of it and then look at the real one. If the real one is prettier than the virtual one.
Then it has the potential to let your mind wonder in the virtual world of the real one.

2. If a musician can play his / her music as nice or better in live version than the CD version. And more importantly, know his history and be better than his contemporaries in a revolutionary way.
An example?
Jamie Cullum mixing Gene Kelly's Singin' in the Rain with Rianna's Umbrella.
They both talk about rain. And it's a mixture of old and new into a brand new style.

3. You look into a person's eye when you have casual talks and you forgot who you are or what she looks like.

'I feel like if someone were to touch me, I'd dissolve into molecules. '
