Hello hello, my dear and appreciated hivers friends of this great community! Happy weekend to all, I hope you enjoyed it very much. I wanted to join again to one of the weekend topics that this community puts at our disposal and really all the topics I read seemed very interesting but one in particular, as usually happens to me, caught my attention much more than the rest because it is a question that we tend to think a lot as a society Is intelligence better or being sexy? And this leads us a little to think if it really matters more the physical, visual appearance or what we can offer intellectually?
My personal answer to this much talked about and questioned for many years, is that it is much better to be someone who has knowledge to offer and thus in turn make society grow in ways of thinking, than to be a person whose appearance is the only thing they have to offer, so if we talk about me, I think I am a pretty smart person and I would like to think that people see in me that as one of my most striking qualities and obviate the physical. I don't really consider myself to be bad looking but I'm not the sexiest person on the planet either and even maybe having a little bit of that, it's not the main focus for me or what I really want to convey when someone meets me. That's why so far in my life I have concentrated on my mind expanding as much as I can to any kind of knowledge so that I can always have an interesting conversation and not an empty one with nothing to contribute.
I am a person who is very attracted to the intellectual (and this includes a kind of attraction not romantic but friendly) with whom I can exchange knowledge or who can talk to me so spontaneously and naturally about any topic and that is just what I think I convey. I love to read, for me reading is something that must be present in a person and it expands so much knowledge, much more than the internet, that one that nowadays seems to have everything but I consider that I am a bit old school in that aspect. I really consider myself someone quite intelligent, maybe I don't have all the information in the world because I don't think it's possible but I can transmit some of that knowledge about different things and enjoy doing it.
I don't judge those who feel they are just sexy but I think that inevitably, following the cycle of life, that sensual or sexy appearance will disappear and will no longer have anything to contribute, on the other hand, intelligence is something that is maintained and increases as the years go by. Although I have received a lot of compliments for my physique, I really feel much better when I receive a compliment for my knowledge on a subject that I can talk about with confidence. So in my opinion and answer, plain and simple, beauty will someday go away because even with surgeries that can perhaps delay that process, it will come and it will be inevitable to lose that beauty we once had and at that time it is better to continue having the quality of providing something more than our appearance.
