Every day my dad tells my younger brother and I to live by the rules of happiness and follow your dreams
and to enjoy every second of your life because you never know when it will end. I feel like my dad would strongly believe in aesthetics and to live by its' rules. I know that aesthetics is 'rules and structures for creating absolute beauty" so I definitely know my dad follows these ideas. He knows that besides for all the ugly of the world, there is way more beauty in it than most see. He wants us to go to the forest preserves in every season, more than once to see the beauty and change that is on this planet. He never wants us to lose the ideas of beauty that we have of the world and how we can use it to our every day advantage. Bring these ideas into the rest of our lives and continue seeing the true beauty of things even in difficult situations that may come about.
Due to my past, I have been 'blinded' by darkness and unable to see the beauty and happiness that engulfs us everyday. With this class, and my family, I am trying my hardest to think and see all the beauty that I should be seeing everywhere. I'm not saying I don't find the fall colors to be beautiful or a sunrise. But I cannot see it in everything. I know that my younger brother has problems seeing full beauty too but he is still young. My dad and aesthetics have beliefs of the same kind and are able to use them everyday of his life. And portray them even onto others' lives. I find it to be an important matter to accept it in our own lives and then bring it onto our important friends's lives too.
It sounds like your Dad has a positive way of thinking. I think it is important to see and even search for the beauty that is out in nature and in life in general. I think it’s cool that your dad observes the forest in all the different seasons, because he doesn't let the weather stop him from observing its beauty, unlike other people who only go outside when it is nice out. I think it’s a lot easier to be happy and content if you notice the beautiful things that life has to offer.
