Beautiful Truth Or Truly Beautiful? Truth and meaning are driving forces behind human nature. The response to emotions and the expression of them, are searched out and questioned in the observation of John Keats "Beauty is truth, Truth is Beauty." Upon first glance this is an easily acceptable insight. Casually, it is even a beautiful and wonderful sentiment. However at the core, the underlying issue, Keats is not offering a reflection. Instead he is posing …

…is all Ye know on Earth, and all Ye need to know." Writers and authors do not want the beauty of a story to be raped by searching for the truth. Nor do they want their works to be false by only offering something beautiful. Every reflection offered will be different. Everyone will look into the same mirror but will be answered with an infinite amount of reflections. Every story is left up to interpretation.
