mataikhan,
you say that your Historical Theology final exam was Beautiful. Ontologically, what was Beautiful about it. And how did you know it was Beautiful. Also, how did you respond to the Beauty perceived?
Thank you for participating in this field research, your responses are of utmost importance to the success of this study.
Well, as they say, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So let's say I was obliged, that is beholden, to walk around with my thumb in my eye... now that would be Beautiful. In a similar way, was my Historical Theology exam also beautiful.
But what they say is wrong. so i ask a different question: was the test Beautiful? or is the act of walking around with a thumb in your eye not Beautiful?
Well, I guess, the exam had a certain pleasing quality that aroused in me a strong contemplative delight.
In response, I took up the whole alotted time to complete the exam and later thanked the professor for having written such a good exam. To this, he replied, "It was easy, huh?"
Then was the beauty accidental? The thumb in your eye was your thumb, not the thumb of the professor.
