    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.
    (George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

    "All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
    "Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
    "Particles give me a headache." - Ibid

    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

    Rascal is on the peak of Niihau,
    Using all of his know how
    To prevent a bad and ugly face
    From infecting the human race.

    Re: The Good, the Bad and the Oogly

    Then there's the construance that 'good' is whatever benefits the most number of people for the longest period of time.
    Bad and oogly would be obstructive to the leading definition?

    Re: The Good, the Bad and the Oogly

    Good is when two people agree upon what bad is.
    Oogly is what bad turns into when there's a disagreement!

    Re: The Good, the Bad and the Oogly

    LOL, first I had to determine the meaning of 'oogly'.

    In urban slang, it means so far beyond ugly, that the spelling of the word 'ugly' had to be changed to accommodate the scope of this meaning.

    Nothing is 'good', 'bad' or 'oogly' in and of itself, but only in relation to other persons or things.

    Caramel explained to me that all plants are good for the earth, just that some of them are not good for horses to eat.

    The designation comes from the perspective, which is therefore variable.

    (No. This clever horse is not for sale, lol....)
    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...
