Marilyn Monroe has been called the world's most beautiful woman—and she was so beautiful that even the head of the world's most powerful nation was captivated by her.
A story, a fiction, is often told about Monroe, and upon hearing or reading it, one realizes the beauty of that woman, which cannot be seen, but can only be felt. The story goes something like this:
In 1954, a young American soldier lay motionless on a stretcher in a military hospital in Japan. His spine was broken. His face was downward.
He could neither sit nor turn over.
His world was reduced to just this—the cold floor, the hard edge of the bed, and a worn pillow, which had now become his companion more than any human being.
This soldier lay face down, staring at the floor—the floor itself was the wounded soldier's world.
At that time, Marilyn Monroe had come to the hospital to visit American soldiers. Passing through wards filled with wounds, fatigue, and pain—it was as if sunshine had suddenly descended upon a desolate courtyard. Where the bandages lay, she brought a gentle warmth like a breath.
When she stopped beside that soldier, she understood everything.
He couldn't see her. He couldn't lift his head or turn his neck.
He couldn't even see the world's most famous and beautiful woman present in that room.
But Marilyn Monroe, without caring for anyone, bent down so she could see him.
That wounded soldier saw the world's most beautiful woman—she appeared to him.
A smile spread across the soldier's face. And Marilyn smiled back. There may not be a photograph of this event; people may remember Monroe only for her beauty and grace, but for that soldier, not that floor, but Monroe's bent, smiling face became the world. It was as if his pain had vanished for a moment. It's unknown what happened to this unknown soldier—whether he survived or not—but Monroe made his human life meaningful!
If someone can't stand up to see you, you must bow down! That's the first condition of being human!
