How can blind people understand what beauty is when they lack sight ?

i think the blind have a better grasp on beauty than most people because they aren't distracted by physical appearance. true beauty is not physical, it is inner beauty, and you find true inner beauty through talking to people rather than looking at them.How can blind people understand what beauty is when they lack sight ?
as many people say beauty is on the inside, so when you can't see peoples insides by using your eyes the blind have nothing to loose with their disabilityHow can blind people understand what beauty is when they lack sight ?
The same way that a person can love someone who is physically very unattractive (ugly) and when they can tell you that person is so beautiful. They are not seeing (meaning they are blind to) the physical unsightliness of the person but they see the beauty that is within the person.
When you are blind you notice things more thru sound %26amp; touch which are things that you take for granted when you can see. when you are blind there are a lot of things that are more bueatiful like the sounds of birds singing or the sound of rain or the sound of my children laughing. if you can see these things you don't really notice the beauty of the music they make. One other thing you don't see is the uglieness of man and the ugly things people do. believe it or not Things are simpler when you cant see.
i think that they would be able to feel it spiritually. i know that kind of sounds religious but thats what i think. they could probably also know it with that persons personality.
What they may lack in ';sight'; they usually more than makeup in ';insight'; AND touch-and-other-senses-based (think of it as Analog-to-digital conversion) mental reconstruction. ... If the passion is there, sight is a mere detail.
they understand the true meaning of beauty. philosophically, beauty is the awesomeness of life :)
they realize that a person's beauty is not in personality, it was in a person's heart..... they don't have to see it but they can feel it better rather than us....
Beauty is not limited to sight. It's merely a label we as humans attach to something that is pleasing to our senses, whether it be sound, sight, or even touch.
I'm a guitarist. I hear certain guitarists play, and I can hear the beauty.
Well if you only way of defining beauty is visual, you need to grow more... Stay in school.
They can see the Real beauty: The beauty of actions and thoughts.


they won't be deceived by appearance..
The old cliche ';beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'; applies even to this question, because even ';blind'; people, or those who lack sight, can appreciate beauty, but it is through their own ';eyes'; or perspective that they do so.





This can apply to people who are literally blind or to those who are blind to beauty, metaphorically speaking.
Maybe they are the only ones that understand real beauty as they are not getting ';blind'; by the fake external beauty, at least for people :)
I think they analyze beauty through touch and sound. They feel the person's facial features and can picture it in their minds. That's my opinion though.
I don't think that beauty is restricted to sight alone. I've smelt, tasted, felt and heard beautiful things before. They say that your other senses heighten when you don't have one of the five senses. Imagine what eating's like, tasting flavors better than everyone else. If you want to know what it's like close your eyes and just listen to music, you don't have to have the ability of sight to see beauty.
they can feel it...they still have feelings and w/e feels great must be beautiful by the descriptions others give them.
Beauty doesn't have to been seen. Beauty can be heard, smelled (such as flowers etc), acted out (such as a good deed), or thought. Beauty is a concept that is different by everyone's standards, including blind people.
they go by personalty of the people the know, and they depend on other people to make sure they look good.
I think blind people understand beauty better than people who can see. Though we have this ability, we're blinded by superficiality and judgement through what we see, while blind people in that same respect can see better than we can because they 'look' past that surface. When they experience beauty, they experience it purely. When you sit out on a lake in a boat and hear geese go by, smell the breeze, hear the trickle of the water as it moves past the sides, and feel the sun on your face, that's a sort of beauty. Your other senses can experience that. A blind person doesn't know he's on a lake unless he's told, so he gets the full experience of those senses without his sight obstructing them. This is why a lot of people, when experiencing something beautiful, like a kiss or a cool starry night, will close their eyes and relax and listen (and most importantly feel) instead of look.
They can feel it and see it in their hearts.
