Thank you for writing this. 

An interesting and provocative reaction! It sort of throws me for a loop. I will look forward to pondering this.

In my own case, beauty has been the main motivation in my life for moving away from whatever position I was in at the moment. Thus when I read Plato's Symposium it seemed instinctively true to me. 

But I can imagine... perhaps better to stay with the beauty as it is......
