Extreme Beauty Has a Price

Maybe I'm a lil bit late posting this. But this post is not about the Aussie Open 2009. 2 months have passed since i witnessed my favourite tennis player, Roger Federer (RF). I have always thought he is perfection personified. Rarely do we see someone who produce so much genius that it can be a lesson in life that there are so many ways to solve a problem in life. We do not always have to use violence and hard work to solve a problem. We are humans, and what separates us from animals is our brain.

Yes, the brain. Such is the magnitude of its power and potency that Albert Einstein's brain is not fully used although he is the undisputed most intelligent man who has ever lived. RF showed to me that with an open mind, speed of thought we can take another route to solve a problem. And that route is BEAUTY. Yes, BEAUTY.

BEAUTY as much as it is sometimes superficial and lacking substance is sought after by most people. A lot of women spend money on beauty products just to hear someone call her 'pretty'. Most men dream of a supermodel girlfriend. Picasso could buy a house just by drawing it because there are people who would pay for the abstract BEAUTY that he draws.

So shallow is it for us to put importance on BEAUTY and yet deep in our nature, we chase after it. We love it. But too much of something is bad enough Spice Girls said. Too much BEAUTY will make old supermodel undergo freakish surgery. Too much BEAUTY will make men fight and back-stab to get a women. Such is the extreme dark side of BEAUTY.

And so it is concluded, Roger Fed had provided me with such inspiration and beauty in 2003-2007. It was extreme BEAUTY. Such BEAUTY are not rightful for human to achieve. It is eternally god's possession. So now, when BEAUTY is taken back by God, the man who once touched it will feel extreme sadness and will have to accept that it is not eternally his. He is now frustrated, depressed and angry because of this realization that no human are immortal.

What we see now is VIOLENCE and POWER. All we can do is realize that BEAUTY can easily be crushed with VIOLENCE and POWER if it is not protected with constant BRILLIANCE. I hope in the end, BEAUTY will prevail and also save the world.

P.S. maybe I need a tennis blog. :D
