acid never changed anyone, it only enhanced that which is already inside. There is no magic in that pathetic chemical, the magic is in human brain.
If you give it to a fool, you will only open doors to an even greater foolishness.

the truth is, you don't need a woman for any of those things.
You can get wisdom and skill in battle on your own.
You can build your own political power and riches.
You can imagine a woman far more beautiful and real than any of the whores that walk this planet.

If I were in Paris' sandals, I would be subject to the tyrannical male sex drive, so I would choose Aphrodite.

Anything only controls us to the extent we let it. That includes misogynistic powers-that-be and the irrational belief systems which lead us to support them.

the whole world is a distraction from the true reality within you and me. 'one great big festering neon distraction' is a line from the Tool song "Aenima". The song is basically a prayer for the apocalypse.
by the way, there is a fine line between misogyny and misandry.
often it is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins.
Me, I like to step over lines. Habitually. I'm a habitual line-stepper

I strongly disagree. It is not a choice between hating males or hating females. The "fine line" is only in your perception.
One can choose to perceive humans as individuals, and make decisions based upon the actions of the individual.
Stereotypes are the lazy way to relate to other humans.

The whole world is the true reality. Reality is. Your thoughts, that tree over there, the commercials on television, the petty drama that humans choose to engage in, everything underneath the sun, preferential or not, is true reality.
Making a conscious choice to not let one's emotional well-being become diminished by it is one thing, and so is making decisions and engaging in behavior that will actively change that which one does not prefer about reality.
Choosing, out of pain and suffering, to seperate oneself from reality, to amount it to being a distraction, even if on a subtle, mental level, is detrimental. It doesn't solve any of the problems that one is experiencing, in fact, it takes away your ability to become the solution to them.

the fine line is almost invisible, but to many it is still solid. It is there perception of it as solid that makes it so.

I chose Athena for the wisdom and experience, which would probably ensure my success in other fields (politics & women). I would've chosen Helen, if I knew she was more than just the most beautiful woman in the world -- if I knew she was actually a human being (loved ones above all else for me, but no guarantee of love for looks).

I completely agree with icelander on this one (and most of the other people who voted).
Money, power and a beautiful body are really nothing compared to actual wisdom and ability to fight. If you were wise you could use your power in a good way, make the world a better place.
