In todays class we learned about the root of
the word beauty, specifically the greek word “Kalos”. Kalos was used to
describe beauty, as well as goodness. I found it particularly interesting that
the word Kalos was used in Genesis for the phrase”it is good”. This suggests
that not only was God saying that his creation was good, but also that the
earth was beautiful. This difference in meaning leads to a greater appreciation
of our world because it is not simply just something that’s “good” but also was
created for its beauty.
