Who is the fairest of all
Here again is the unforgettable line from Sleeping Beauty: Who is the fairest of all?
Don't ask me why, but it occurred to me all the variations on the question that could be asked: Who is the fairest of all?
Who is the smartest of all?
Who is the wealthiest of all?
Who is the most loved of all?
Of course, there is no most of all in anything. It's the wrong question.
Nevertheless, answers kept coming to me.
The smartest of all is the one who keeps learning.
For the next two questions, the answer was the same.
Who is the wealthiest of all?
The one who gives away the most wealth.
Who is the most loved of all?
The one who gives love, not from need, but for giving.

Sorry my dearest Gloria, But I must disagree Who is the smartest etc. I will not compair one against the other as Ii have learned not to judge and all those questions are judgemends. Personally I do not care who is what I am happy with myself and that is fine with me. I have great respect for you though and I love you very much. Jack
Beloved Jack, of course, you are absolutely right!
All superlatives are judgment. The best anything. Superlatives are to be avoided like the plague.
The point wasn't meant to be judgmental (I think) but rather to point out that we keep learning, we keep giving love, and we keep giving our wealth.
You keep sharing your love and your beautiful view of life because you enrich us all.
The smartest of all: the out of fashion ones and those who ignore weekends;
the wealthiest of all: those who live in space and outside of time;
the most loved of all: those who always say to me "YES!" .
YES!
I use superlatives all the time! The next best thing is only a breath away.
