The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

This post is dedicated to people and people only. The title obviously refers to the Clint Eastwood movie, which is a classic by the way. The way I see it is that there are good people, there are bad people, there are ugly people, there are beautiful people, and there are those people caught in between. I, myself, think I fall somewhere in between.

I think that there are two main parts to people: outward appearance and the "inner" person, or the part that actually interacts with people. I'm no saint, I'm a sinner like everyone else, but i'd be lying if I said I thought I was a bad person. I don't think I'm in any sense a great looking person. I find myself to be a decent enough looking guy (In fact last night at work 3 people told me I looked like Clark Kent, not too shabby) And while I do care what I look like, I care a helluva lot more about how people view my morals and my actions. I was born with my looks, but how I act is based solely on the person I have grown to be. I like to think I treat everyone equal and that I'm not judgmental but that wouldn't be honest. I judge people all the time. I just strive to get past my initial judgment and really get to know the person. I do hate people, several in particular, but i love more than I hate. Most people would describe me as funny and a jokester. And let's be honest, that is dead on. But I'm more than just a comedian, I'm serious behind the scenes. I think a lot and I dream a lot. I try to take everything in life seriously. And i'd say that for the most part I do. (Except maybe Model UN, sorry Mr. Quinn.)

Enough about me though. i am but one out of some 7,000,000,000 people in the world. I love expressing my opinions of people, which may lead to me having no friends one day but oh well. As I said earlier people can be good or bad or caught in between. I don't think anybody wakes up in the morning saying 'I want to be a bad person today" then again I could be wrong because we have atrocities like the Holocaust and the Columbine killings. The world is filled with "bad" people but I feel that the good outweigh the bad. we have philanthropists like Bill Gates and then we have those everyday good people, like my mother (love that woman) Beautiful and ugly people are harder for me to talk about. There are plenty of beautiful people out there, beautiful in  a sense of looks. And you might expect me to say that many of those "beautiful" people aren't beautiful on the inside, but I won't. I will instead say that they have ulterior motives. There are "ugly" people in the world who do great things. Should we judge people on looks? That's a question I myself have a tough time answering. There usually has to be some physical attraction for someone to have feelings for someone else. (That last statement was very backwards and cliche, but oh well)

In the end most people are beautiful, ugly, good, bad, and caught in between all put together into a hot mess of a person. Or maybe I'm just over-complicating everything? Who knows? Not me obviously. All I know is that everybody out there, in one way or another is beautiful. And don't you ever forget that. I'll leave you with a quote that has inspired me for a long time....   "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold."
