"You are cute! is the comment I often get for my pictures shared on social media. You are beautiful is seldom used," my learned, accomplished soul spoke during a routine well being call. My thinking cap flew from the closet and found its place on top of my freshly washed hair. Cute! beautiful! exactly what is the difference between the two.This led me to thinking.
Dear readers,
Close your eyes and think for a moment, persons whom you find cute and persons whom you find beautiful. Were you able to clearly demarcate between two ? Well, if its a yes! then this write up is for you.
Going by Oxford dictionary
Cute adjective - 1. appealing in a pretty or endearing way.
2. informal -North American sexually attractive : good looking
Beautiful adjective - pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically.
Let's talk about these terms in context with mortal forms, There are some individuals whom we find cute, whereas some as beautiful. Seldom one uses the word cute and beautiful together (as both are adjectives.)
My thoughts on this are - when I find people (whom I know well) beautiful and they seem to retain their innocence/people with pure intentions,irrespective of age, I prefer to call them cute. I use this word selectively. On the other hand, any picture/post which pleases my senses/ mind is beautiful. So, I use beautiful as a comment generously whereas, cute is reserved for special pcitures /posts. Whatever may be the Oxford dictionary definition, cute is definitely for those whom we know well.
I would love to hear your views in comments section.
Love, Juju
