The things that we preceive as beautiful may be different, but the actual characteristics we ascribe to beautiful objects are similar. Think about it.

It seems almost iridescent compared to the dullness of other objects less attractive.

But a fear expectation can still be powerful. That is why you must monitor your expectations carefully and set your field consciously.
