Abuse of Beauty?

Is it fair to assume

that if exposure to beauty hurts

beauty is abused?

Because its attraction

may lead to the downfall

or even destruction

of what is not deemed attractive;

because emotions evoked

as result of stunning beauty

cause unequal distribution

of resources, wealth and sympathy;

because what caresses the senses

may lead to blind obsession?

Are all these aspects hurting,

abuse or what is naturally

to be experienced when confronted

with the force of beauty?
