If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then the person who is observing gets to decide what is beautiful. A common saying is "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," which means beauty doesn't exist on its own but is created by observers.

Beauty Lies in the Eyes of Beholder
Plato‘s famous words ‘Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder’ appear to be a fact and universal truth. The world around us is infinitely full of beautiful objects and things. However, each individual finds beauty only in that thing that he is obsessed about. For example a child finds beauty in toys and chocolates; parents find beauty in their children; children find beauty in their friends; teenagers find their girlfriends or boyfriends beautiful; poet finds beauty in poetry; scientists in science, and so on. For each person the meaning of beauty varies.
Now the question arises what is beautiful? Is there any criterion to find out what actually beautiful is! Yes of course there are criteria. The great poet John Keats has given us a yard stick to find out beautiful things. He says:
“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness;
but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.”
If we ponder over Keats’s words we will realize that beautiful things are eternal; they live forever. They give joy, peace, contentment and inspiration that will always keep on increasing. On the other hand the things that are not beautiful, they are ephemeral and transitory. They always give us pain, regrets, and anguish. So we must learn the art of looking at beautiful things. We must not ever allow our moods to sway our discretion to differentiate between the truly beautiful and the illusory beautiful.
