The Good , Bad, and the Ugly.....

hello folks!

As the ship of time chugs along people relax in their homes, drive their cars, go to work, and even chill out at their favorite bar, cottage, and vacation resort, not realizing that life actually is staying the same for them. The ship of change carries few passengers partially due to how the mind works. Change is a negative option to people who are use to the same mundane job, unproductive relationship, or the same patterns of drinking obsessively. It's a catch 22 situation for the addictive and compulsive personality as he or she demoralizes their spirit as their bodies slowly degenerate from the ravages of alcohol or drugs. They get this instant gratification initially and to them it's worth the eventual hangover or torment the body endures as they sadly go through the robotic motions of this vicious cycle of despair. Change is a fear hanging over them constantly as society or even their close friends or relatives try to dig them out of their individual corner of hell. The above title The Good, Bad and the Ugly really charts the human condition to a tee as the world turns to the tune of one 's own dance of perception. Life can be a terrifying ordeal and only you can say if what you do is good , bad or ugly. The term ugly is not meant to be used in the context of opposing the natural appearance of a beautiful image or being visually correct according to what society dictates. It pertains to what is wrong in this world and what is wrong can cause such a stench that it is felt as being ugly and repulsive to the good of this world. One's own third eye of perception knows what is good bad or ugly and it is trained to see what others don't want to see or maybe cannot see. Let's take an example of how a society considers a particular perception as habitual but other societies may consider it ugly or repulsive. Human nature or to be more exact the human mind can deem something normal by accepted habitiual patterns handed down from previous generations... I recently went to Chinatown in Toronto the other day and was amazed to see something I termed as ugly or repulsive. Above one of the shelves of a chinese supermarket stood a jar or should I say many jars of Pig's blood. I was amazed and wondered what they used it for....Do they drink it? Do they put it on their food as a mixture of a sauce? Or do they pour it like it is on their pork chops? This was the ugliest thing I noticed so far and it made me nausous and sick to my stomach.

Being a vegetarian is not an easy task and to see something like this really upsets the apple cart... Other things which are deemed ugly to our society may actually be a potential benefit provided we changed our mode of thinking where value is concerned. Everyone knows that there is a world wide shortage of food and that is reflected in the recent price increases at your local supermarket. North America and Europe are used to steaks, chicken and lamb , and we can understand that it is a common way to get the proteins neccessary for our bodies to operate. It's common practice now to order burgers, and most North Americans salivate at the thought of a nice big juicy hamburger. Macdonald's hamburger empire has infiltrated the world and hamburgers are now served in russia europe and asia. The demand for more protein far exceeds the supply and because of this the other half of the world depends on bugs, grub worms, locusts, crickets and other insects to round off their palette. To North America and Europe this is considered ugly and repulsive but one day the food shortage will be so severe that insects will be on the menu and many restaurant chains will make them more delicious or marinate them to make them more platable... After all there are chocolate covered ants on the market and before too long insects will be the major supplier of the world's protein. Why not!? They are in abundant supply and there for the taking. So what is deemed ugly may not be ugly to certain societies. I personally don't mind eating insects because I have an open mind and will always consider value over taste any day. A cooked grasshopper contains 60 percent protein and 6 percent fat. That's value in anyone's book and the reason why it's not on the supermarket shelve is because the option is so new and the idea of a creepy crawler going down someone's stomach makes people cringe. One day the food shortage will be so severe that insects will be used to survive and this will be sooner then later....

Yea the Good the Bad and the ugly...That very entertaining movie with Lee Van Cleef, and Clint Eastwood...Don't know who the ugly guy was...but hey...if he had a wife then he must of been her hunk a hunk of burning love right? (Hehehe)... Beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder and what constitutes ugliness is really relative to perception..It's nice to take life and put it on humour mode and to be honest humour is a good quality and should be utilized more in this society...People are too serious and robotic and true ugliness has nothing to do with a visual image..What is ugly are people's attitudes about how beauty should be measured..If a person is 500 lbs and has numerous rare qualities such as a sense of humour, respect for all, kindness, spiritual determination for good causes, then he or she is a shining light to all of mankind and should be considered a good person or even better a beautifully good person...Do people look at these characterisitics when other qualities such as ugliness or obesity is front left and centre? Well, people by nature are visual and what they cannot see doesn't interest them or they may subconsciously block a person's spiritual qualities while a person's image is the powerful bait which gives woman like Marilyn Monroe an instant step up society's pedestal...These biased tendencies are rampant in today's world and are indeed the cancer which will one day destroy it. Therefore true ugliness in today's world is war, arrogance, biased attitudes, greed ,violence, oppression, evil dictatorship, poverty, mixed up political priorities and the list goes on and on.

Wow what a list for the word ugly!! Let's conclude this word with I have a face only a mother could love and go on to something else!!!!!! (hehehehhe) What is bad in this world? Well one can say what is ugly could also be bad...But bad is something evil and we will go with that...The engine of ugliness is evil or anything that is bad...Don't get confused with phrases such as good god that music or piece of art is sick or bad...implying that it is really good!...(hehhe) Musicians and or artists are a creative lot and what is said isn't really what is meant. Bad in those terms could mean that's cool, sexy, powerfully attractive etc...So who is king of all badness? Well one can argue that Lucifer, the King of Badness himself started all this mess...Is this character really to blame? Well true badness or evil could very well germinate from man's inherited blueprint of evil handed down through generations...Cain killed Able...and all scientists would agree that we are all connected as one in one way or another through the memory cells of our dna...Deep down in our dna there exists a memory cell of the Grim Reaper or the notorious couple Bonnie and Clyde...We have evil pre-programmed by the genes of our fore fathers...and to blame it all on one possibly fictious character is really passing the blame on to someone else...We are all bad by nature ....Why? Well the creator designed us this way! We have choices to make and if we had one option to do good...well...then we could say we were held prisoner and have no rights ...The fact that we do have a choice to do good or evil, makes things easier when the bigga bigga bossa upadera needs to seperate the good from the bad...It's all logistics and if you were ever a warehouse manager you would understand how inventory works and how products flow in traffic...(Heheh!) So if you have 5 drinks before you drive and you go out and kill a senior citizen at a cross walk you really cannot blame the King of Badness himself can you? YOU are responsible for your own actions and to be honest....You are the bad one arn't you? Not Lucifer! To avoid the impulse to do evil or be bad think of what the consequences would be if convicted ! Reading my entry Think twice cut once will help you avoid the impulse to be a bad guy!

Yeaaaaaaaaaa The next word is Good. Who is good ? Well we have the choice to be good and some people push the good button and not the bad button. Mother Teresa, Bill Gates, Not for profit world agencies who distribute goods to the poor, your local parish providing meals for the homeless, and the hit and run type who refuses to be acknowledged when he or she gives ten million to the Cancer Society...And other ways to be good are donating your own body parts such as bone marrow, part of your liver, kidney etc...There are many cases on record where a person donates his right kidney to his brother or even mother or even to strangers...These are all unselfish acts of goodness and one day these good people will inherit a ton of spiritual dollars in the next life...Do they know something we don't?

Well there you have it folks! Our entry the Good bad and the Ugly is written for you to contemplate or even to drive yourself bonkers...For the world is a crazzzzzzzzzzzy place and a kalidescope of different perceptions...One thing is certain..YOU are what you think...and the old proverbial saying I think therefore I'am is common knowledge...Trouble is...If you think too much you will blow a fuse...Just do it! But whatever you do it better be good and if it is not...then be prepared to party with the bad boys down there yonder...Wink as you smirk that evil smile as you pass Adolph Hitler, Sadame Hussein, The grim Reaper, Paul Bernardo ....Not you you say? You would rather go to the other place? Well donate all your wealth to the poor and you may be at the head of the line when entering Heaven's gates!....(Heheheh!)

So stay tuned for the next entry from the verifiedbeliever! Ciaooooooooooo Love yaaaaaaaaaa!
