We admire the beautiful body and the effort that goes into creating it. It entertains us and wows us with its capacities. We dress it with flamboyance and excess and put it on parade. We drape it with bling or show it off with scanty outfits. We even assume that the beautiful body contains a beautiful mind.
But the beautiful mind is a different thing. It’s not as easily seen or appreciated. The work to get there is hidden, and what makes it beautiful is not always appreciated. It can be dangerous when it’s at its best and dismissed when it should most be valued.
The beautiful body can lift great weights, but the beautiful mind can move civilizations.
