Sigh. This is the saddest song I've heard in a long time, and it fits so well into all the drama I've been caused lately. Since I can't figure out for the life of me how to upload my own music to blogger, it would be helpful if someone could let me know.
On to my post.
If you've ever seen the movie Donnie Darko, then you know there was a whole speech about Smurfette. Some say she was a whore that was passed around through all the Smurfs. Some say that Smurfs have no reproductive organs. If they were, in fact, A sexual, you sure couldn't see a thing, even under all that tight spandex they wore. Smurfette, on the other hand, wore a tiny little, white sun dress that was flowing and dainty, and she never ever did cartwheels, because she was a lady. Smurfette was initially a bad Smurf, created by Gargamel to defeat the Smurfs and she had black hair I think. They completely changed her and made her good. Her hair magically changed from dark to blond, and she became the Sunset Tan girl, Olly, of the Smurf village.On to my post.
Now, my point to this is, since I tend to take my time making a point, is that people can change from bad to good, can't they? Maybe it's a bad idea to compare a cartoon from the 80's to people, but come on...Can't one day a really shitty person wake up and be good?
I often wonder why God didn't create everyone equal if we can't stand each other's differences? It's beyond me and it's bugging the shit out of me. We all loved Smurfs, and they were BLUE for Christ's sake!

Well yes, of course they can, and the opposite can happen too.
ReplyDeleteFor example up until a few years ago I was the perfect 'nice guy'. Sweet, friendly, sympathetic, and chronically single.
The other thing to remember is that just because someone's a bad person, doesn't mean they're not good on some level you just need to prod a little to uncover.
Mr Rabbit,
ReplyDeleteI've gotten tired of trying to dig the good out in people. In general, I'm way too nice. I used to think that people could never be way too nice, but when I look at how much I've been walked over, during my lifetime, I have to say, I really am, way too nice. Chronically single..what a sad way of putting it.
Have you read "A Clockwork Orange"? Not seen the movie, but read the book? The American edition was initially missing the final chapter, and this is the version from which the movie was made.
ReplyDeleteThe last chapter addressed this question of yours, with the main character. Up to that point, the book pretty much asked, is a person really good if they are incapable of choosing bad? In that last chapter, he starts making a choice.
But it's also a rather brutal book, so beware.
Enjoyed your post :o) Thanks!
I haven't read the book, but it sounds interesting. I think I'll check it out this week. I'm glad you enjoyed the post, and I love your blog title. Very cute!
ReplyDelete"I often wonder why God didn't create everyone equal if we can't stand each other's differences?"
ReplyDeleteWe can't stand those differences because we see it in ourselves.
We despise that (perceived) "lack/shortcoming/failure" in ourselves.
Therefore we lash out at others that remind us of our own problems.
...Gee, Dr. Phil. You sure you have job security?
