To that fortunate woman
Hello Fortunate,
I always thank God for your life. Today too, I pray you find
good health and happiness. Though I’m yet to see you, I’m convinced that you
will hear me whenever I talk to you, in my mind. Once again lend me your ears.
Many are those useful advices on my mind for you but today I
want you to know this—only this: Whenever you are presented with the
opportunity to choose between beauty and character—I pray you choose character.
Choose character—and don’t even think twice! I don’t think words will be enough
for me to enumerate the advantages this decision of yours will bring to our
future matrimonial home. But I know it will be enormous.
To begin with, as the saying goes, ‘’beauty lies in the eyes
of the beholder’’, and if we’re to go by this maxim, then I will be the ‘beholder’
here, and how I wish you could know and understand the stance I’ve taken when
it comes to that controversial concept—beauty. As the only certified beholder
of your beauty, you need not to do much (as a beholdee) to please me—actually;
your beauty is the second thing I will consider though. But don’t forget I will
love you not because of your beauty. I don’t even know (which is usual with
most people) how to define beauty.
As I said earlier, the concept of the beauty of a woman is vague
and controversial as well. Most women themselves do not even know what constitutes
their own beauty—why should I even try! Notwithstanding, my dear Fortunate, you
need to know this: beauty of a woman, to me, can be seen from two angles—‘physical
assets’ and ‘character’’. Though physical assets such as good skin; voluptuous
and curvy body; great legs; ‘angelic face’; fat ass; big and firm boobs and
other mind-blowing physical appearances count in defining a woman’s beauty, I will
definitely define your beauty in terms of your character instead. Not your
physical assets.
Fortunate, you may be wondering why I’m saying this but this
shouldn’t surprise you at all. Why should I base my love for you on your mere
physical appearance when I know full well that they will all wither with time? Just
before I took my pen and paper to write you this letter, I was staring
incredibly at a great, old portrait of my grandmother who will turn 85 next
week. She was then in her heydays—I believe she was 24 or less. What a beauty
she was! Obviously, ‘’physical beauty’’’. But can we say the same thing now; considering
her sagging skin, wrinkles here and there, dropping jaw-bone and the like? Your
guess is as good as mine! Such physical beauty cannot, at most, stand the test
of time. And I should think along the line I may find someone who possesses more
of these physical features. What should I do then? If the only thing you have
is your physical beauty?
Oh as for the aspect of woman’s character, you have to acquire
as many as you can. A lot of them. A woman is beautiful when she smiles. I can’t
help when I see a woman wearing that bold and authentic smile on that “natural
face’’—the smile with the ability to make a sunny day. If there is a make-up
kit for it, Fortunate, don’t hesitate to buy it. A woman is beautiful when she
is courteous (polite and respectful). You must also befriend humility as well. You
have to work on ability to be engaging; you would want to know how to say a lot
by saying a little at time. You must be nonjudgmental, always happy,
optimistic, genuine (as for the genuineness, almost always, put it on!), warm,
sensual, witty and bright. A beautiful woman is the one who is passionate,
purposeful, fit, confident and competent. If there are values to be learned,
Fortunate, leaned these. You must also be kind and compassionate and caring. What
will prevent me and the children from loving you if you possess at least 90 per
cent of these characters? Do not forget to remember this: I will be attracted
to you when you make me feel good and when you show genuine interest in me.
Is my prayer that I find you with both aspect of beauty—physical
assets with character. I should thank my stars for such a treasure. But if, in the
likely event, you are to opt for one aspect of beauty, my dear, develop good
characters. It is then that your beauty will lie in the eyes of the beholder
(me) and beholdee (you). Dear fortunate, you may think I am demanding a lot
from you. But don’t worry. I will support you in my prayers, knowing full well
that with God all things are possible. You can do it. I hope to meet you one
day.
Yours
Love.
