Applying Aristotle to the Beautiful

I don't know about all of you, but I find myself to be incredibly analytical which often translates - unfortunately - to criticism.  A lot of the time, that criticism is projected outward on other people in my life, various situations I encounter, basically, everything EXCEPT me. Well, recently I asked God for an increase in humility.  As an answer to this prayer, God has shifted a lot of my criticism to myself, and it has led to some interesting ponderings.


We all have many identities as my first post suggests.  For myself, Catholic, English major, sister, daughter, friend, girlfriend, Education major, waitress etc. are all labels I would apply, but I soon realized that there was one "label" or "identity" I have not really considered as much as some of my friends. The identity of being a woman - although a popular blog topic and conversation piece - has never really been something I have honestly mulled over.
