Mimesis

Mimesis derives from a Greek word which means to imitate.
A reference to the people and their tendency to imitate
 others.To become or behave like someone else rather 
than yourself. Animals have the same tendency but only
as means of survival. A lion which copies a lion becomes
a monkey ( Victor Hugo ).

Beauty provokes pleasure, but when there is a need of definition
how objective are we? Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. It is amazing
how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodnes.( Leo Tolstoy ).
