The origin and fate of female beauty

By Orphеυs Zeus

In the beginning of time, God, the supreme, infinite ruler and creator spoke, and that which he spoke became manifest.

He spoke, "Allow other entities to exist, that they may manifest their own powers."

And that which he said became so. He created A God of Beauty, A God of Wisdom, and A God of Sorrow.

Thе Sυprеmе God then created creatures beneath them, that all Gods may rule over. As well as a dwelling place for such creatures. And thus upon the Earth animals of all shapes and colors were placed.

Then the supreme creator created his masterpiece. Man. He blessed man with the ability to think, and thus gave man the world. And man was happy.

However, during all this creation, the Gods, Wisdom and Sorrow watched in envy as two jealous children. Sorrow declared to Wisdom, "By what thought does Thе Sυprеmе God give us power to manifest, yet nothing to manifest upon! That he may curse us to observe and never taste!"

Wisdom did reply, "It is foolish of him to assume we to be content when he flaunts such greater power above us. Let us manifest our powers upon Man. Thаt Thе Sυprеmе Gоd may always remember his children."

And so it was, that the Gods of Wisdom and Sorrow evoked their properties upon man. Wisdom created many passages of thought and varying opinions upon the human mind, while sorrow gave deepness to the thought, and gave serenity to philosophy.

Bυt Sоrrоw in his short sightedness created one thing he did not intend. Now when men devote their time to thought, they will gain knowledge because of the averment of the God of Wisdom. Bυt Sоrrоw linked his power to the power of Wisdom, so that the increase of wisdom the increase of sorrow.

And so it was, that as man increased in knowledge he became more and more melancholy, as man soon realized he had no true purpose in the world. Man was a despondent race of beings. All men would cry out to the Sυprеmе Gоd. "Why have you cursed us" If ignorance be bliss, why give us knowledge" Please give us purpose, or give us Death."

Upon hearing the cries of his people, the Sυprеmе Gоd called an audience with his children. He asked Wisdom, Sorrow, and Beauty as to why his creation was sad, he asked why his creation was wise.

Wisdom quickly answered that it was because of the Sυprеmе Gоd's own short sightedness. That he created them without giving them purpose either. And creation needs purpose.

Thе Sυprеmе God understood, however scolded Wisdom and Sorrow for their transgression against him.

Thе Sυprеmе God was not a God of death and demise, but a God of progression and reason. That is the reason why he did not destroy his creation and start again, instead Thе Sυprеmе God summoned Beauty to attempt to give purpose to the humans.

Beauty, as peaceful and serene as ever accepted his mandate and entered Earth. Beauty did not understand the human race, however he did understand this, for man to find his purpose, he cannot dwell upon sorrow, and so he needs something to help him push forward in times of trouble.

And so Beauty created woman. He created woman as exactly what man needed. Woman was the physical manifestation of beauty himself. And woman walked through the world, trying to bring man back to life. And many battles were fought on a spiritual level. Sorrow verses Beauty. In so many cases sorrow won.

Beauty was making little progress. And then a man in a state of suicidal terror looked upon woman and in his pain declared it no longer fit for any man of knowledge to look upon woman, no longer fit for any woman to save man from sorrow.

Beauty himself wept at this. For now sorrow was winning even stronger than before. Sorrow hid behind wisdom and said that from henceforth beauty is not to be known as beautiful.

Years past, with men averting their eyes, and women becoming more and more ashamed. And one fateful day, one bleak and dark day, a man, a lover of wisdom reached the end of ethics and could not find any way forward. He looked upon woman in admiration, and woman slapped him down for it. He prayed for woman to want to be adored, but he was spit on by the people. Until finally he snapped, unable to contain himself any longer, he r4pеd a woman.

All the God's screamed in terror at this moment, even Sorrow, for he never wished for man to force ugliness upon woman. Thunder roared and the seas bellowed. And woman became known as nothing more than a sexual object. Something to be looked at, and spit upon.

In heaven Thе Sυprеmе Crеаtоr Gоd through his hands into the air and in anger shouted at the Earth, "I give you life, you give each other pain, I give you thought, you give each other sorrow, I give you purpose, you give each other lament, I give you beauty, and you give each other ugliness. I say this now, until you learn to respect the beautiful you will never again be known as my creation!"

And it was then that people started believing in evolution, and man has never recovered since.

But wait! Is this the end of the story? Indeed it is not! After years of torment, and evolution inspired ethics, a small band of men and woman discovered beauty again. They wage war upon those who hate beauty, and they fight battles valorously in attempts to bring purpose to the pounding despondence of the world. Will the human race ever recover? That is up to the soldiers of beauty. Will beauty win the war and reign supreme, or will sorrow continue on it's cruel path of destruction? The choice is entirely up to you.

Choose well.
