Money or physical beauty?

They both have good karma. And I like them both. Let me devise a test. A contest. I will go with whoever wins.

Let me see what test? In the old culture of India they called this a "svayamvara." Many qualified suiters were invited to compete for a princess. The test was one of strength or skill, like fighting a ferocious animal.

I'm not anything near to being a princess but I like the system. Romantic love is not always the most workable in the long run. It can be a sign of possible infidelity later on. What if one of the partners becomes romantically attracted to someone else? Happens all the time in modern Western cultures.

But this svayamvara. Test of strength is a good one. The strength I want to test is character. The suitor will have to prove his intentions are noble and that he has integrity. He already has other qualifications. Physical beauty and charm on one side and the other wealth and stability.

I will ask my friend Julia to help me. She is very attractive and also has access to her family's accumulated wealth to try to attract them to her. Let's see who falls for the bait? Maybe both of them will fail the test. Better find out now before making a commitment only to have their weakness exposed later and there I am raising children alone. After all a husband and wife also need to be responsible father and mother. Barring any unforeseen misfortune their union produces offspring.

Here' the plan. I organize a dinner party with a few friends. Some couples and some singles. Rodger, the handsome one and Julia among the guests. Julia is to try to be alone with Rodger at some point in the evening and make some romantic connection. Show some personal interest in him. If Roger accepts her advances it's over for Roger.

The same with Neal, the wealthy heir to the family fortune. Another party with Julia's help.

I will consider making a commitment to the one who rejects her advances. If they both fail the test and both show interest in Julia then Julia will see what she wants to do about it. If it grows into something and Julia finds herself attached to one of them. I'm happy for them both. If they both fail the test. I'll keep looking.

May the best man win!

In the event they both pass I'll have to come up with another test...

That is indeed an interesting test. I assume those two come for a reason and will pass. What will be the next test?

Money or fame if not we'll manage can vanish, beauty will fade but good values and good character never changes. Your post tells your simplicity about life, you're not moved by just mere physical looks or possessions, you look inwardly to good character which is the most important if you ask me. He may have everything or be so good to behold but has a mind of a beast.

Nice entry, here's sending you warm wishes.

Awesome message. Thank you for the encouragement... Stay safe.

You're welcome
