From Art to Architecture, fashion to physical beauty trends, it is clear that something has been lost in societies perception of beauty. But this is not a new phenomenon.

Today we will discuss where this hatred for the beautiful came from, why it has become so pervasive, and how to deal with a world that calls ugly things beautiful and beautiful things oppression.
