Everything should be beautiful.

There is no reason why everything, even the smallest, most inconsequential thing, should not be beautiful.

I have heard arguments against this opinion that state beauty is appreciable in the difference between the good and the bad. I call this negative relativisim. It sanctions a universal lowering of 'the bar' in order to artificially inflate the volume of the upper echelon. Excellence need not be more excellent than the next most excellent thing by miles. Difference is still appreciable on an infinitesimal, or purely interpretative level.
