Beauty, freedom, order, life, cold, subjective, specific, feline, large, easy, fair, evil and all categories and attributes; without a mind to hold these concepts, they can not exist. There are minds, however, and many hold these categories.
While we may use categories and attributes to describe things that exist outside of us, the attributes are not inherent in the things we describe. Instead, we are describing a reaction that our mind has to a movement in energy-- our mind also being a movement in energy. The reaction is real, there is beauty in the world, but it is not outside of the category "ourselves".
There appears to be beauty in objects because our mind overlays concepts on the picture that the same mind paints from sensory input. What appears beautiful to some subjects may appear disgusting to others. Some women find large muscles attractive on men, while others are disgusted by them. Large muscles are neither attractive nor disgusting ultimately, but they are both disgusting and attractive simultaneously from the relative perspective.
In this way, all opinions are simultaneously correct and incorrect.
