"The Ugly, The Bad, The Good"



Listening, and reading the lives of my peers and living my own life, I've learned and come to this understanding. As smart as we all are and as much knowledge we attain, we're human enough to make mistakes. The bible taught me that noone is perfect, we are imperfect people living in an imperfect world. Although, everything, is beautiful right? 
Mistakes are beautiful. At times we don't see the positive in negative situations. Sometimes it seems as if there's nothing but negativity. Mistakes are made for us to correct. How would we know right from wrong, if there wasn't someone who did wrong. Some of us need more than once to correct ourselves, that's okay, trial and error right? I'm sure things like airplanes or even shoes weren't perfected on the first try. I'm sure the Wright Brothers or Jan Ernst Matzeliger(Invented the sneaker) didn't think about "three axis control" or rubber soles right away. But they took an idea that didn't seem possible at the time, and now thanks to their intial ugly designs we have things like Jet fighters and Jordans.  
There's always some beautiful in the ugly, and we have to find that capacity in ourselves to know where the good is in everything. Whether it be, a relationship or an invention. The chances we take determine what's right for us, and if we end up going the wrong way, atleast we know what the right way is.
If the good skips bad and turns into ugly, we can look at the bad in the ugly so we can be good, perfectly imperfect. - God is Love

though seemingly reiterated, thank you for your poetic simplicity in addressing such a topic so lightly looked over.
