I was reading Anne of Green Gables today and wondered....
....which would you rather be out of these three choices?
1. Divinely Beautiful
2. Angelically Good
3. Dazzlingly Clever
I have to admit, I can't decide between the 1st and 2nd one.😳

If I was divinely beautiful, I'd have to deal with all those that are divinely ugly. If I were angelically good, I'd have to deal with all those that are devilishly bad. If I were dazzlingly clever, then I could learn to deal with all those divinely ugly and devilishly bad. So I pick the third one. 😆

Plus who wants to be beautiful and good when you can be clever with a streak of evil? 😉

P.S. Anne of Green Gables - enjoyed it?

I would be number one..

Because my beauty could take me somewhere special, modelling or even marry a rich sheikh of Arabia, and when that happens I'll have enough monies to hire a lecturer from oxford or harvard to teach me and maybe have brain implants etc, so i'll end up being intelligent too with time.

If you are divinely beautiful, you are just a pretty face to have some fun with. If you are angelically good you are just a nice soul to make some use of. If you are dazzlingly clever you can use it to convince people that you are divinely beautiful as well as angelically good, and you get to have the fun and make some use too.

Obviously choice 3. I'm so dazzlingly clever ain't I. Actually, I prefer dazzling people this way. 😉

🤣 WA hilliarious well thot out answer
myself i'd go for third simply coz intelligence will always remain and get better as life is full of learning
so u can learn lots of things including staying away from the devilashly bad and devinely ugly

plus looks fade with age
intelligence will remain n get better 😃

Divinely Beautiful -- 'cause it has divine-like qualities/non-qualities in it. Divinely beauty, at least for me, is not about physical appearance alone. It's felt and is on the inside... could be physical, intellectual or spiritual. It's undefinable for me, just like the divine is. Honestly, I think divine-like beautiful has the capacity to deal with all - both "divinely ugly", which I don't think exists, 'cause divine makes it god-like, or the devlishly evil. Because divine deals with that as well. Dazzlingly clever is worldly. So, I prefer divinely. :) Hope I am making sense.

Interesting perspective...I quite agree with you. Nothing divine can be less than perfect, and since that includes character....😊

If I was divinely beautiful, it would be sure to wear off someday, so all those admiring me would surely back off someday as well.

If I was angelically good, all of those bad people out there would take advantage of the situation.

Whereas if I was dazzlingly clever, I'd still be even if I live for 103 years and I'd be able to fool all those bad people any day. Also, who knows I might finally cause one good revolution to happen in this world! 😆
