Our virtues destroy the very best of people..

The best people possess a feeling for beauty.

Different definitions, perspectives of beauty. What I see as beauty will be different from you. Just the same as between you and the next person. Some says, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Other says, "Beauty is only skin deep. It is the inner beauty which is the most important, it tells the personality or characters of the individual and differentiate from every other individuals."

Beauty can be a form of art. It can be something non-physical, something aesthetic, something abstract, something intellect sense, something moral sense. Known as bellus, in Latin. Or beaute, in Old French.

Beauty is also an appreciation of art, in our daily life. It can be the beautiful human body form. It can also be the imperfect facial features of a perfection.

The best people possess the courage to take risks.

Life is a risk itself. Living life is the ultimate risk to take, in this very life of ours. Loving life enough to make it the best one you ever had, that requires courage.

The best people possess the discipline to tell the truth.

Truth is something precious. To be able to give with all honesty barenaked truth to another, it is a honour and worthy to be treasured with care.

The best people possess the capacity for sacrifice.

Selfless giving, sacrifice, to another, be it someone whom you love deeply or just the unrelated person next to you, with worthy cause. The act itself is of one beautiful humane basis nature of mankind.

Ironically, their virtues make them most vulnerable to all, especially the one who can hurt them the most; they are often wounded with battle scars, sometimes destroyed into pieces, including soul and mind.

Who are these best people?
What are they made of?
Where are they? Where can they be seen, heard or found?
How do they exist in this cruel world?
Why are they here? Why do they want to be here?
Why here? Why now?
