"Without ugliness there is no beauty"
I have been in a very good mood lately, and I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's because I'm beginning to understand myself very well. I've realized that if I could ask for anything, it would be infinite patience, so I would never have to feel irritated with anyone. I don't like that feeling at all. I'm not usually upset, but never would be better.
Something happened that was quite a coincidence. Last night in bed I was thinking about the world's perception of beauty and the reason most people will find a certain type of face or body, (the type the media plasters everywhere) very attractive. I have come to believe it is because those people do not have any feature significantly different than anyone else. Everything seems perfectly proportionate and looks how it "should." Typically beautiful people look the same. Everything seems more symmetrical. They do not have anything that gives them character. Particularly large ears, or slightly crooked lips, wide noses, many marks, would just be a few of the countless examples. If there is nothing different, there can be nothing people are turned off by, therefor no reason for anyone to find that person unattractive. If I could be portrayed as what almost all people consider beautiful, I would not. I would never change the things that give me character, or anyone else for that matter. So I thought about this deeply last night, and this morning when I woke up I started talking to Stephanie online about the Twilight Zone, and how we both love it. We started discussing episodes and she said that there was a very good one titled Number 12 Looks Just Like You. I watched it on youtube and it is nothing short of phenomenal. It is exactly what I was lying awake thinking about last night. As a matter of fact, I envy that I did not write the storyline myself, because it seems as if it came out of my own head.
I highly suggest that all of you look up that episode on youtube.
Anyway, I really like my classes. Philosophy, Psychology and Human Development, Astronomy, and Interpretation of Poetry. The professor of the last listed is the biggest hippie I've ever seen, man. He is totally awesome. He's so enlightened, and I feel I can learn a lot from him.
