V) of the few current minds who still "get" real Beauty, while our culture is lost a sea of apathy and mediocrity (that's a merciful assessment) and abject ugliness.<br /><br />"The modern cynic often tends...to reject three important ideas: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. ... As for the iconoclast, he dismisses beauty, destroying the images and statues, and then later all art, architecture, and even music: for if there is no true beauty, then utility must rein supreme. ...He holds, with a twisted and dark sense of irony, that '...There is no Beauty, and I despoil it.' ...The cynic, however, is too busy examining (and mocking) the lives and loves of others to ever examine his own. Those few who do are made to face a terrible realization. They realize that it is Truth, Goodness, and Beauty which give meaning to life. ...Christ Himself tells us that He is "the way, the truth, and the light" (John 14:6)--the way to Goodness, Truth in the flesh, and the light by which Beauty may be made known."
