The Good, the Bad and the Oogly

The subjective value of the *titular terms behoove objective qualification.
*Good, bad and ugly have different meanings and values, to different people under different circumstances.
Consider the parable that 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder', as an epistemological example of thematic variation.

There are many qualifications of the selected theme of 'good', 'bad' and 'ugly'.
Hopefully, this post will elicit such qualifications from its pensive readers; contributing specific objective clarity to otherwise arbitrary subjective terms.

Re: The Good, the Bad and the Oogly

Oogly in the relative human sense might be what is different from some standard, such as a lopsided face, other culture's traditions of dress. It's not simple, for even though plain people are common, they don't all look like movie stars or models, which are few. Once upon a time, like in old paintings, even plumpness was beautiful.

'Good' is to help others; 'bad' is hurting just to get ahead of others.

'Oogly' is to make things strange yet cannot fail.

See http://www.ooglykit.com/index.php - 'The whole concept of oogly is that "you cannot fail when you make an oogly" - only you know what your oogly is about. All ooglys are wonderful and different just like we are all wonderful and different.'

When someone make "=" an oogly with "≠" = "=", this subjective trick never fails. It seems wonderful and different [to well-established usages].


Best Regards. Bottomlander
