When it comes to Armstrong’s quote  “To regard beauty as a luxury adornment or a social signifier was to miss the true potential of the experience.” I agree. I think he’s trying to say that people tend to be blindsided by other things in this world and don’t focus on the true beauty. Everybody has their own ideas of beauty or how they would define beauty, but there really is no length to which beauty can not go. The basic quote “Never judge a book by its cover” is a perfect example of how it has become common to judge people by how they look on the outside versus the beauty they can possible hold on the inside as well. People experience beauty every second, of every day and as Armstrong states                ” … , we have all had the mysterious experience of finding something beautiful.” and in this statement he is very true. Everybody in this world has different interests and things that fascinate them and that’s what make beauty so rare yet accessible. My community believes that beauty is typically materialistic objects, however some look past that, and notice what can truly affect them and inspire them.  However, when it comes to my family we genuinely do not care about items that were bought, we tend to care more about homemade things that people had to actually think about and put thought into it. My family and I have always enjoyed nature and the outdoors where beauty is inescapable. Even the smallest of things can be beautiful, people just have to look.
