Brains for Sale (22)

In the most recent prompt, Ms. Chi asked us a no-brainer – excuse my pun: If you had to choose between beauty and brains, which would you pick? For those uncertain individuals, a good question to ask next would be: Which one gets you further in life? I’d pick brains hands-down. Good judgment and a sound mind are the keys to success. All the beauty in the world couldn’t begin to take their place. There’s a proverb that describes this best: “As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.” (Proverbs 11:22 NASB). This verse really applies to both genders, and it perfectly illustrates why I would choose brains over beauty.
