When most people see something (someone) beautiful, their first instinct is to control it

[MrScorpio]

That's not always the best thing to do

1. That's true.

Setting phasers on stun is generally a good first step, though.

2. I disagree.

That the first instinct is to control it... not that it's not always the best thing to do...

I generally avoid "most" for "some". If it turns out to actually be most, then I'm guilty of undergeneralizing and giving people more credit than they deserve, which has the air of nobility. If I say most, and it turns out to be some, then not only have I been unnecessarily harsh and not giving enough credit, which is craven, but I also have to admit that the reason I think it's most is because of the company I keep, a much bigger issue.

3. Corollary:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. control or own?

[MrScorpio]

6. Sometimes both

5. Control what?

I don't get it.

[MrScorpio]

7. What is beautiful to you?

[bigwillq]

8. No, I don't do that.

If I think something (or someone) is beautiful, I usually go for it and let my emotions out. But there's all different circumstances. But, usually, I am pretty open.

9. Voila!
