> Ok but you don’t look at every night sky or every sunset and say “wow that’s beautiful

Exactly - because it's a semantic shorthand. Sunsets are fucking boring, ugly, transient phenomena. Watching a sunset while feeling safe and relaxed, maybe in a company of your love interest who's just as high on endorphins as you are right now - this is what feels beautiful. This is a sunset that's beautiful. But the sunset is just a pointer to the experience, something others can relate to, not actually the source of it.

I’ve seen incredible sunsets while stressed depressed and worse. Are you saying sunsets cannot be experienced as beautiful on their own?
