Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Well, not really. That may sound like a nice thing to say, and it may even be an attempt to remain neutral or inoffensive when someone mislabels something objectively ugly as beautiful. But what ends up happening is an ushering in of the truly offensive because the world has defined the act of discriminating what is true, beautiful, and good as being hateful.
Despite what the world says, we can know what is objectively beautiful, and what isn't, because the God who made all of creation is beauty Himself and has set forth what defines it. Ciara and Jessi explore the degradation of beauty, and the uplifting of the ugly in an episode that is sure to get you reconsidering if our observations about the world -and the art, music, and literature we enjoy - are really as subjective as we think they are.
