How are we to find Beauty in the most heinous and hideous ? E-Z ya' -gotta believe it there to being with, and now here's one made Famous by Robert Pirsig [Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance] ---> "Believing is Seeing" -- counter-intuitive for sure, but there it is, ready or not, like it or don't .
One of THE most Difficult Concepts to teach is 'Life IS what it IS' . It's the same with WAR, Beauty, and Ugliness . To just BE means to accept things and events as they are without judgement nor bias . What complicates 'BE-Ness' as well as 'Is-Ness' is ---> Discrimination, where Discrimination 'hides behind" Discernment . The Mind >Discerns< and that Discernment begets all kinds of both Intellectual and Emotional TROUBLE .
The Late Zen Master, Seung Sahn Soen Sa taught , "Moment to moment everything is already correct, moment to moment everything is already ---> PERFECT . If we view Perfection as Beauty, we have means to accept things AS THEY ARE , as already BEING Beautiful .
Consider ... .
"Tare Forward" and "Keep the Faith" .
