The truth is that some truths are ugly.

Fun. Thanks.

I'd choose truth. Beauty without truth isn't beautiful for long.

Strangely ... if I had to select between the two, I'd probably opt for Beauty.

I used to have a knee-jerk tendency to chose Truth. However, over the years, I have come to appreciate why the axiom "Ignorance is bliss" came about.

have to agree w/ Cathexis - I might have been inclined to say Truth, but I think in the end Beauty has a more powerful affect on the soul.

Truth -- beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder, but truth is indisputable.

C-Tuck: Agreed. But, is 'indisputable' better?
by Cathexis on Wed Sep 06, 06 12:33pm [+]

If you choose one over the other, I feel you would have neither.
