Casting my life
We all know the torrid love whatever that happened between JFK, Marilyn Monroe, and Jackie O.
We have all heard the story thousands of times.
Marilyn Monroe was that something shiny...
But Jackie O couldn't even be categorized next to Marilyn, not because she was less in any way, but because it was like comparing a glass vase to Waterford Crystal. Jackie O was the Waterford Crystal.
Both equally beautiful and timeless. Both have the ability to be an heirloom, and both will succeed in that...
But one is Waterford Crystal.
And yet, in our classic human kind of way, JFK went for the glass even though the Waterford was right there.
Hands down, that is my favorite modern fairy tale, because with a simple twist of fate, the whole story could be different. It is fascinating. ¶ 4:48 PM
