3. What is beautiful? What is ugly? why?

The image of the most beautiful thing for our group is sunrise. Every sunrise of the day is a new start for us. It also means yesterday had passed. Sunrise makes us aware that a new day has start and we can do better than yesterday. It's beautiful because sunrise is also a suitable and good time for us to think/meditate.

The most ugly thing for us is seeing someone needs help but nobody seems to care about it. The reason that we think that this is ugly is because people without compassion/sympathy makes our society become ugly. People are usually selfish, they only care about themselves. Therefore, we have to communicate and learn to help others.

4. What is the relationship between your concept of beauty and ugliness and the monomyth?


Monomyth in modern life is adventure has had terrific impact on my personal development, and it's apparent that it can also serve you.The beauty and ugliness come to my mind when the last confirmation came from a conversation I had with a woman sitting next to me at a conference. She was about my age and was open, friendly and vibrant. There was a spark about her that you don’t always see, and I was definitely intrigued by her company. You know those people that seem to shine just a bit brighter; there is a charisma about them. She exuded a peace and certainty in trusting life. As we were chatting I wondered what she did. I kind of imagined that she was a personal development coach, or health practitioner or maybe a teacher. I certainly didn’t expect the answer she gave me. There was a time many years ago that I would not have been so surprised by such an answer. It was when I was verging on adult and felt quite invincible in the face of life. Anything seemed possible.You've probably felt that sense of wonder at some point in your life. The world and the boundless potentials within it seem so brilliant. You glimpse a magnificent sense of your own indomitable free spirit, and you know that it's all right to trust life.That is the place where the hero dwells. And it was at that time when I was in touch with that 'space' that the monomyth story first made it's appearance in my life. It's relevance in our modern lives has since became blatantly apparent.It's the heroes inside of us everyday people that cause extraordinary things that change the world... positive change that we had no way of previously comprehending or hoping to witness without accepting the hero's call to adventure. The person your hero will be saving first and foremost is yourself. In turn, there are magnificent repercussions on others and the world around us.She was an everyday person, yet fully aware of being much more than a stack of limiting conditions. She had learned that by trusting life and acting in concert with creation, transformational miracles occur.Many things that happen in our lives carry strong life lessons for our personal development. They deliver aha moments, and new ways of being that we then carry with us into our future.
