a string of random thoughts...

Its so much fun to blog, but its even more fun to customize a blog. I just did this one, and also my own blog-(.http://shruti-shrutsblogs.blogspot.com/). Its like shopping, but better. You get the clothes for you blog for free, you can also accessorize it as you wish for free, and it gives you and your blogging experience a freshness; a novelty. And plus, its fun, because it helps you determine what your blog is all about. A picture is worth a thousand words; if that’s taken literally, what background you choose for your blog can define your entire blog.

Its nature, isn’t it? You eat with your eyes, as well as with your mouth. We were taught, you must not judge a book by its cover, but then what’s the whole point of the cover? In the animal kingdom, as in the Human kingdom, looks are what attracts interest, interest is what attracts friendship. So looks are the most important, aren’t they?

It is so characteristic of us to preach that looks can be deceptive, and perhaps they are so,too, about 80% of the time. That is nature too, for instance, the phenomenon of camouflage. So that way a chameleon can never define what it is, because it keeps looking different. Poor creature. But no great priest can say honestly, without batting an eyelid, that he hasn’t judged a person by how he looked ever. Because no one really does. And there’s a simple justification; nature.

God gave us eyes so one can take in all the beauty nature has to offer. And he painted the world beautiful, so that we had something to see. That is one of the reasons the peacock is our national bird, not the crow; which we see more than the peacock, when it comes to it.

So what do we do with ugliness and not-so-good-looking-ness? We take them in anyway, just like we do with beauty. Banish stereotypes and give ugly a chance to prove how beautiful it really is.

And in case you are wondering how on God's earth I could start with blog customization and end with a philosophy lesson, here’s the thing; I am really, truly, extremely jobless! ;-)
