Something which I first mentioned in the description box of my Black Winged Angel - A Christmas Fairy Tale is it has always been my contention Pure Beauty is the natural opposing force to Evil and not Good. Whilst it is possible for Good to extend to Pure Beauty it is not a natural extension which can and does confuse people because most people tend to possess a Christian slant on life which has always extolled humble and obedient adherence to their doctrines as being the essence of both Good and Beauty whereas Pure Beauty is a concept unto itself.
Most everyone in the world would have at some time or another heard of Helen of Troy who is acclaimed to have been in Greek mythology the most beautiful woman in the world whose beauty is misconstrued to have inspired the Trojan Wars; when, in fact, it wasn't her beauty that inspired the Trojan Wars but her unfaithfulness to her husband King Menelaus after she willingly absconded with Prince Paris of Troy seeking a happier life, which naturally became a matter of honour for King Menelaus.
Now forgotten in Homer's epic twin novel the Iliad and the Odyssey is my namesake Princess Penelope who was the wife of the main character Odysseus for whom she remained faithful to her husband for the entire 20 years of his absence after having answered the call to arms by King Menelaus. This is despite Princess Penelope's own exquisite beauty which naturally attracted countless suitors whilst he was absent all of whom she rejected even though she was never certain whether her husband was still alive or dead.
Subsequently, Helen who abandoned her husband would be erroneously hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world who started a war whilst Princess Penelope who faithfully waited for her husband's return has been relegated to obscurity for the obvious reason extolling a woman's virtuous nature these days has become contaminated by puritanical moral crusaders at one extreme - all of whom are invariably male - and sluttish feminists - all of whom are invariably female - at the other extreme.
Christianity didn't exist in Princess Penelope's life time which meant she had remained faithful to her husband by a completely different set of life principles. Far from being the little homely housewife pining for her husband’s return she was being wined and dined by all her various suitors seeking her title and wealth whilst living in opulent luxury playing suitor off against suitor in her own private war of attrition whilst her husband lived in a tent spending most of his time sitting around a campfire on some distant shore with a bunch of equally unwashed men talking shit all day, but then, it was his decision to leave his beautiful capable wife and go off and fight a war due to some misguided sense of loyalty to a king whose beautiful wife had left him of her own volition.
A similar scenario that would be amplified in the 20th century in which men by the millions would willingly go off to war to kill and be killed in wars that would only secure their enslavement whilst those who survived the horrors of those wars would forever be psychologically and emotionally traumatised having never given a moments thought to the burden they would become on women after returning home or the implications of their absence having done absolutely nothing in the prevention of the war before the war.
I've always stated Adolf Hitler, National Socialism and the Third Reich in the 21st century is the equivalent of wearing a beautiful scented perfume for women or a beautifully scented cologne for men inferring it is a finishing accoutrement whose appreciable beauty is dependent on who's wearing it. Thus inferring it only completes a person as opposed to constituting a person, which is why I have always made mention of Bruce Lee because group dynamics bereft of strong individual dynamics will always quickly devolve into herd dynamics.
As a consequence of people like me being undeterred by the social stigma of being referred to as an anti-Semite or Nazi we now live in times for the first time in more than a hundred years in which it is possible to accurately assess the quality of a human being - carbon based life form - no different to how diamonds - pure carbon - are assessed utilising thousands of calibrated metrics, which I've artistically illustrated by borrowing imagery from a Gatorade ad for which advanced technology had to be devised in purpose of creating the desired effect of active animated water droplets.
In this respect, in spite of its highly abstract nature I've always understood from a Pure Beauty perspective what it is Bruce Lee meant by his “Be Water” advice as it is a metaphysical construct no different to my Knights of the Round Table concept, which combines both the physical and the spiritual with water being symbolic of spiritual fluidity.
