Challenge as Guide

Fragments from imaginary dialogues

“I have two options that are equally attractive. Which one should I choose?”

“The more challenging one.“

“Didn’t you use Beauty as the guide [<link; short length]?”

“I do. In my view, Beauty is a rich and nuanced model. Challenge is one aspect of it.

Another way to think of challenge is as a metaphoric obstacle.”

“The Obstacle is the Way?”

“Yes. Or, to put it differently:

The Obstacle SHOWS the Way.“
