prodigalwatcher1.2 - Describe, in detail, your favorite feature or part of your body.
My hands, I should think.
While I would certainly agree with Fred that the most important of all my aspects would be my intellect, I have a strong tendency to not personally associate that with the brain itself, necessarily. I have seen too many times where the physical has belied the mental, and so I cannot make that my answer.
But hands-- specifically, our human hands as they have developed, with their opposable thumbs, remarkable dexterity and surpassing sensitivity-- are what have allowed us as a species to do the great and terrible things that we have accomplished. They are the tools with which changes to the world may be affected.
While courage and resolve and intelligence may set the stage, and in many cases, win the day, it is with our hands we fight. With them we struggle and strive, we create the good we desire and seek to destroy the evil that opposes us. I have held swords and daggers, and pistols and shotguns for that matter, in these hands. They have swung an axe to behead a lover, cradled an infant in my betrayal, and held my beloved as she died.
Without my hands, even the small things I may do, I could not.
