This week I found myself in a consistent battle with my roommates trying to prove to me that Angelina Jolie and Adriana Lima are by far the prettiest woman on the planet. Who identified the characteristics of the most beautiful women on the planet anyway? It occurred to me that each one of my roommates said they would go lesbian for Angelina Jolie or Adriana Lima. I don’t know about that but I can definitely see how you can put Angelina and Adriana in the same sentence. Both weigh about 90 pounds and are enormously tall. But if you ask me, the most beautiful woman in the world isn’t composed of lip gloss and stilettos, but by intelligence and humility.
But my roommate continues to argue as I type my opinon. Angelina helps out the world, she adopts kids from like twenty different countries. Angelina Jolie is an ambassador for the United Nations and goes to third world countries to help the disadvantaged. Maybe I’m wrong…or maybe my roommate has been taken over by media that sensationalizes Angelina Jolie and puts her in the light of a hero.
She never gives it a rest. I was reading an article in The Press Democrat about a homeless man who passed away last year during the holidays. The impoverished man died after getting hit by ongoing traffic on HWY 101. After doing some research on the homeless man’s death in hopes of finding a relative to contact, authorities discovered this homeless man had been donating money to a charity organization to children in Africa. Breathtaking. So while we argue to find the sexiest and most worthy people on the planet, we should definitely consider the homeless.
Yes, it is often the "invisible people" making the most difference.
