What Is The Most Beautiful ‘Thing’ In The World?

[Barnaby WildeParticipant @barnabywilde70941]

With the Gestapo likely to shut down any thread that is in danger of veering towards politics, I thought it might be nice to start one that cannot possibly go anywhere near the subject.

It is part of a course I used to run titled "Things You Should Be Thinking About".

So what is the most beautiful thing in the world?

True reciprocated Love.

As its 36 deg C here, a cold bottle of beer takes some beating.

Because needs vary with time and circumstance, and beauty is a subjective attribute, there can be no definitive answer.

And you knew that.

I guess you've already thought about it.

Can I ask "what was the best day of your life"?

Perhaps it should be the day I was born, but like everyone else I don't remember that.

For the same reason as my first reply, I can't answer that, and only people who come upon sudden exceptional joy after a long period of unhappiness can do so validly.

And you knew that, too.

The girl of my dreams.

An yes it is appropriate to call her a thing as she is unfortunately a figment of my imagination.

[V8EngParticipant @v8eng]

Removed because I called somebody a thing, wrong.

Most beautiful 'thing'. There can only be one answer.

The view across Alaska and the Yukon from ''The Top of the World Highway' near the settlement of 'Chicken' in Alaska in late autumn (end of August). The highway runs along a ridge and you can see 50 miles at least on either side. The only indication of humans is the road. It's totally devoid of human made sound. The V shaped valleys in late autumn are cloaked in gold and scarlet as the leaves of the willow scrub change, interspersed with the sparce black stubble of centuries old pine trees struggling to make 5ft high. It is the most beautiful place (thing) I have ever seen. Absolutely breathtaking, but such moments are fleeting in such a wild area, the very fact that makes such jewel like memories.

Regards,

Richard.

The day my sight began to return after five months of blindness, 24 years ago.

Going against V8eng but …

Simple, a new born baby – human or animal. They are amazing.

A perfect nights sleep is hard to beat

[V8EngParticipant @v8eng]

The smell of newly wet grass after long dry weather.

The most beautiful thing in the world would be the world.

The most beautiful man-made thing in the world that I have seen is the Taj Mahal.

[richard 2Participant @richard2]

I am a 24/7 carer for a friend who has Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

and the best thing is when I see him first thing in the morning and he

says "hello" and grins at me when stumbling his way to the bathroom.

In that time I've had a heart attack and am on haemodialysis three

mornings per week.

By the way – I'm 86.

Giving someone the help they need, when they need it.

Listening to Crowder singing Glorious Day, at the mo'.

The world still is a beautiful place

[Brian WoodParticipant @brianwood45127]

Richard,

I think it rather splendid that you are able to act as a carer at that venerable age, well done. I am someway behind you in the count and beginning to be aware of the limitations that anno domini brings in it's wake.

Regards

Brian
