One of my very favorite stories about
human perceptual relativity came from the wonderful Anthropology professor Dr.
Ruth Krulfeld.
She told a tale about her field work
among a tribe who considered the epitome of female beauty to be the absence of
the two front teeth…
To paraphrase her story: Initially, upon arrival, she was horrified…
then as time went by it didn't seem so bad… and near the end of her stay she
was actually considering…
This story was a gift. read more
Our views of beauty come from our culture
and our families.
Our perception, almost by definition can
never be objective!
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL
APPS
An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
EXPAND YOUR VISION!
Think about what you consider attractive:
In
men
In
women
In
pets
In
homes
In
clothing
Now think about all the times you have
looked at someone or something and found it unattractive…
Now, as a mental exercise, imagine
looking at all these same things and finding them beautiful.
The idea of this exercise is expansion!
