Why does it make us feel so good to look at a perfect ice cream cone? Maybe it's because our lives are so disorganized and chaotic that even a passing visual representation of order hits us like a bolt of meaning in our otherwise pointless lives. Why is it that a pristine stack of apples gives us a sense of completeness that we can't find on our own? Maybe it's because we ache for a sort of aesthetic excellence that rarely, if ever presents itself in the lines and curves of everyday living. Why is it that any one of us might get more out of a stack of fluffy pancakes than looking at the smiling faces of our loved ones? Maybe it's because we continue to have lofty expectations about what our own reality should be even though deep down we know true satisfaction is something that exists only as a half-forgotten memory viewed through a kaleidoscope of painful regret.

It's definitely either that or "lines match up look nice yes."

To help you keep chasing down that dragon, here are some moredelectably aesthetic images of satisfying perfection.
