If beauty is in the eye of the beholder then I saw some beauties today. I won't get into any specifics, however, for my own safety, I will just let you imagine what walked in front of my car today. Trust me, the devil does not wear a red suit with a pointed tail and he doesn't carry a pitchfork. I'm not even sure the devil is a he. Or maybe, just maybe, God was blessing me with a view of some of his finest creations.
You see, beauty is subjective and while we all know that beer goggles can improve your vision, that is not what I am talking about. But I do have to get a few "You are so ugly..." jokes out of my system.
You are so ugly that when you were born the doctor said, "I guess shit does happen."
You are so ugly that when you sit on the beach cats try to cover you up.
And one more... You are so ugly that when you stick your head out of the car window you get arrested for mooning.
Not long ago I made a list of the some things that I think are ugly. I'm not sure why I made the list. Sometimes when I'm writing I just get off on tangents as my brain goes through a defragmentation process. Be that as it may, here is a partial Planet Kirby list of things that are ugly.
1. Calling someone ugly or fugly. Let's face it, other than Mrs. Planet Kirby, none of us are beautiful enough to call someone ugly.
2. Haters. People that hate someone else because they are not the same color, sexual orientation, religion, etc. That's just ugly.
3. Snakes. Sorry, but God got this one wrong. He never should have created them in the first place.
4. Anything that has Pittsburgh in its name.
5. The 2012 U.S.A. Olympic designer outfits that were made in China. C'mon, that's just ugly... China, really?
6. Jerry Sandusky. He is ugly and I'm not talking about his looks. He deserves the ugliest of punishments.
7. That special person who won't accept my facebook friend request. Actually, I've always thought that cows were ugly.
I could go on and on but these are just a few of my favorite ugly things. True ugliness has nothing to do with how someone looks. But it has everything to do with what's on the inside of someone. When it comes to others, I like to take the God approach to how He sees us. He looks at the heart. Plus, anyone made in His image can't be ugly.
So what have we learned today? True beauty and ugliness are on the inside. And while they say that beer goggles can make you see things that aren't there, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know if someone is ugly on the inside.
Be Well.
