Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Beauty is a lot like truth.  Perhaps that is not as well stated as it could be.  I was going to say that since the truth is slippery, it is elusive.  Beauty is according to one's taste.  That thought doesn't satisfy me, though.  Let's say that truth is truth, but hard to find and to hold on to.  Beauty is elusive in a sense that it is perceived differently according to taste.  Let's say that beauty can be compared to the postmodernist's version of truth, which differs according to perspective.  There is more to be said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder because that is subjective, but truth is not.

Leftists may think that socialism is beautiful, but I think it is the most vile thing to ever be created from the minds of men.  Only snakes can love other snakes.  That is if it is possible for a snake to do so.
