9. I think beauty is defined by the observer. In your quest to define these terms, I feel you may be extracting the feelings that go along with them. I think wisdom is much more than the unseen obvious, it's knowing when to do and when not to, which is never obvious for any situation. Besides, you can describe art, but what about the feelings it provokes, or maybe even the smells in an architectural masterpiece? Love definitely has its pain, but what about that sense of fulfillment that life is sooooo good and great. Hate, well look in the eyes of so many people who have suffered at the hands of another because of hate (for example racism, religion) and into the eyes of the person who made them suffer and describe those looks with a sentence and see if there are enough words in any language to do so.
