beauty or brain???

Like any other God’s creation, physical beauty needs no explanation. It’s like the Sun, the Calla Lily, the Starfish... wonderful and perfect in their own rights. A physically endowed human being needs not speak; its mere sight is enough to elicit awe. An exact symmetry of accurate proportion is one of the wonders of natural creation, no genetic engineering but they came out just as wonderful. Only God could have made such a beauty and a tad of luck in sperm and egg union.

However, not a lot of us are bestowed with such a gift---either we fall on the average or the so called aesthetically challenged.

While that might be the case, some beauty needs to be exhumed and discovered. It needs proving and verification just like any other invention. Intelligence. It doesn’t come easy nor is it earned like a penny. Though geniuses are just simply born with big brains, they have to work tediously to keep and nurture them. Others who belong to the average have to work harder to get a little closer to being smart.

Both are great, and when put to best use, will provide you a taste of paradise only money can afford.

Physical beauty thrives on physical preservation to keep it...otherwise, it will diminish just as quickly as an infant learns to walk. Intelligence is insatiable and feeds on knowledge for sustenance.

One can not have both, as usually is the case.

If in an outrageously impossible supposition, God would ask me to choose just one of which, Beauty or Brain...what should I say?
