You see someone and you think she's beautiful but no one else thinks so. Why is that?

Beauty is abstract. One person might look at a Picasso, and see nothing but a heap of ugly; another person would sell their soul to own that painting. The heart sees what it sees, and no two hearts are alike. And at the risk of wearing out an already old saying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A phrase meaning essentially that has been dated to the 3rd century B.C. Even though it is old, the idea endures with only variations in the manner after which it is phrased. The truth of the saying is rich enough to have supported that sentiment for over two thousand years. It must contain at least human truth. And it does.
