A Beautiful Mind



There are those that we often overlook when we consider genius or intelligence. They are the beautiful minds that are beautiful for beauty’s sake. They are not astrophysicists or super activists nor leaders in innovation or leaders at all.

They are not tethered to an ambition that wants to see an end to world hunger nor bring about world peace. They are beautiful for beauty’s sake. They take in life with full senses. They enjoy their little “uniquitities” for what they are; special moments in time that are meant to be enjoyed for what they are.

They see the world differently. They see the extra colour our eyes can’t decode and hear the sound and sights of a thousand different worlds and possibilities. And when they do this, they do not run of and write a book, or compose a symphony…no they enjoy the moment for what it is, LIFE.

They change the world by being themselves. They do not apologise for who they are and the way they look at the world. Yes, the world thinks them odd but they somehow hover above this all and shrug it all off because Life, the Present has so much more joy to offer and so  many more moments of enjoyment to be wasted on people who think they are not normal.

Yes they do feel burdened by these “abilities” cause they are normally quiet, shy and socially awkward individuals. This does bother them cause I believe deep down in their hearts they want to share this but most ofus are too caught up with the possibilities to involve ourselves with the present.

I have seen these people around me. I enjoy their company, their presence and their essence. They make me happy not because they do things for me but simply because they are who they are.
They are beautiful for beauties sake.
