Two different words are doing one job here. Attractive is a fact about me, it reports what pulls me. Beautiful is normally a claim about the thing itself, which is why anyone argues about it. Collapse them and you can never be wrong about beauty, but nobody can correct you either, and I would keep the second.

Explanation of beautiful word-
What is truly beautiful is? In our path beautiful things are attractive one. Those things are beautiful which are attractive. By attraction here means you feel attractive towards such thing. It could be anything, I am not here talking about body only or face or how you smell. I am talking about what you actually feel attractive towards.
What are things which are truly beautiful for you? It could be your desires. Desires to be an artist, or singer or dancer.
There are many types of attraction.
One is on physical plane.
I.e. - related to body, face, skin colour, skin brightness....
One is based on voice - see voice is different dimension compare to body attraction. It is part of body but it affects mental plane of someone, not body.
Third one is their knowledge - This type of attraction is simply based on the other person wisdom. You feel like that you wanted to respect that person as well as want to become like that person. Simply your idol.
Because there are many forms of knowledge in this exsistence. Knowledge of body, knowledge of music, knowledge of arts, knowledge of science, knowledge of spirituality.
So your perspective of beautiful should be based on attraction not based on what society feeds you. See body is also a point of attraction but only focusing on body will narrow your vision.
What is completeness?
I talk so much about completeness and personally I love completeness.
What is completeness?
It is nothing but simply to know a simple fact. What type of fact? The fact that everything is whole and completed in itself and there is no need to add or remove from it at all.
See this whole exsistence itself is in zero state. What is it? Zero state there is no +1,-1.
Simply no meaning of adding something or removing something from it. You and this whole exsistence itself is complete in its own flavour. Accepting this fact that everything is in completeness state makes you at peace.
Because now you no longer depends on outer state. Even in bad things there is no need forcefully change it. I know accepting this fact that everything is in state of completeness is hard. Because what about bad things? Then see you actually don't get this idea. Again, -1 show negative and +1 show positive and zero this state. From this expression you can get idea.
That doesn't mean you should not do things which are right to do. As I said everything is already in state of completeness so even if you perform something bad or good it still is completeness.

The Christian East has an old version of this. Nothing to add or remove is very close to what the Desert Fathers called apatheia, which never meant indifference, only that the outer weather stops deciding you. Maximus said each thing already carries its own logos. I would say your zero has a long beard on it.

Right and wrong have nothing to stand on if everything is already complete, and the last paragraph still says do what is right to do. One of those two is the real belief, and I would bet on the second.

Zero state. I had not heard it put that way and it has been rattling around since. Saying a thing needs nothing added to be whole is easy, and holding on to that while something is going badly is a whole different job. Thanks for putting this up! Do you have more of these posted anywhere?
