Perception, Beauty, and Greatness

This is a wonderful insight into the human being.

After you read that (it's short), consider these questions:

Do we really know beauty, or are we revealed/told what it is?
Is human greatness actually not that special?
Are beauty and context interdependent?
What else are we calling normal or ugly just because of the context in which we experience it?

Someone else had something to say about perception...
"Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand."

We spend way too much time seeing and don't realize what vehicle we are using to see. More simply put, there are things that we as 21st century humans will simply not know or understand. History will teach us that exceptionalism is a very bad idea, especially in humans.
