Beauty can provide solace and comfort in difficult times from "summary" of The Sense of Beauty by George Santayana

In times of distress and turmoil, when the soul is weary and the heart heavy, there is a profound need for solace and comfort. Beauty has the power to offer a balm to our wounded spirits, to soothe our troubled minds, and to uplift our weary souls. When we are surrounded by beauty, whether it be in the form of a beautiful landscape, a piece of music, a work of art, or a kind gesture, we are reminded of the goodness and harmony that exist in the world. Beauty has the ability to transcend the mundane and the ordinary, to transport us to a realm where all is pure and perfect. It speaks to us in a language that is universal and timeless, touching the deepest recesses of our hearts and minds. In moments of despair and uncertainty, beauty can serve as a beacon of hope, guiding us through the darkness and leading us towards the light. The experience of beauty is not merely a fleeting sensation, but a profound and transformative encounter that has the power to heal and restore. It has the capacity to awaken in us a sense of wonder and awe, to remind us of the beauty that resides within ourselves and in the world around us. In the presence of beauty, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit, and the capacity for love, compassion, and kindness. During difficult times, when we are faced with challenges and obstacles that seem insurmountable, beauty can provide us with a sense of peace and tranquility. It can offer us a refuge from the storms of life, a sanctuary where we can find solace and comfort. Beauty has the ability to inspire us, to uplift us, and to remind us of the inherent goodness that lies within each and every one of us. In the face of adversity, when we are struggling to make sense of the chaos and confusion that surrounds us, beauty can offer us a sense of clarity and perspective. It can help us to see beyond the immediate challenges and obstacles, and to focus on the beauty and goodness that exist in the world. Beauty has the power to remind us of what is truly important in life, and to help us find meaning and purpose in the midst of difficult times.
