Internet Hate 2...and How To Rise Above

I think that she is a beautiful person; but unfortunately, because of the shallowness of the world we live in she is harder than any young woman needs to be.

Ugliness beuty are definable things. This is not being cold hearted, it is just being realistic.

Whether we find someone atractive is something else. That's less universally definable, becuase it depends on many things inluding our own disposition toward that person...

No, you can also be ugly inside and out. She's looked at as a good person because of what she has chosen to do with her life. Instead of hating the world, who in part has hated her, she has tried to go out and help people. That's a great thing.

Of course, not all beauty is defined the same way. Different cultures have different views on beauty. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean others can't.

I can be ugly inside and out? She is looked apon as a good person, who by?

The world has no capabilty to hate her. She is part of the world. I don't understand people that like to seperate themselves from all others, wether loved, hated or being a "good" person...

Not pity eh? Ok. Except I wasn't talking about you.....but her.

In truth, she should thank those "haters".

Strength comes through resistence and adversity.

The fact that you even know she exists is in direct correlation to what shes endured.

She wouldn't be who she is without it. Inspiring noone and changing nothing.

She should thank them everyday for giving her purpose.

As the "haters" have always done for the mediocre.

I could be wrong (I don’t personally know the young lady) but I feel pretty certain that she did not separate herself from everyone else. I'm willing to bet that she was separated at birth and is making the best of what she has been dealt the best way she feels she can.

One thing we should realize is that the world does not view things the same way many of us do. And, they work with what they know and how they know. I always try to keep that in mind when I read things. Our compassion and willingness to understand (the ability to not just take things at “face value”) is a powerful tool that not many share.

I do not find her ugly. But my disposition towards her (witch as I've said is totally different thing and depends on many factors,) well I'd rather not say. Strange, I never normaly feel like this about anyone...let alone a complete stranger.

Like I said she doesn't seem like the kind of person I would like to meet with.

I have read that normally we feel too close from people out of attachment and too distant from people out of anger. Infact I feel the complete oposite, about every one: Attachment infact makes me feel that I am as close as I need to be, and also the reverse. I don't feel the need to cross the path diagonally out of anger to meet someone I have had a problem with...

So a person can not have purpose in life or enjoy their life or even find their own strength in this world unless people have hated them?

Does that mean without Hitler's hatred of Jews we wouldn't even know their religion existed or that any Jewish people from that time could have had strength?

Jackofalltrades, my comment was not a personal attack. It was a general statement about the ability of people to be "ugly" or "pretty" in any shape or form. The world comment, again, was a general comment about the people of this world...however how do you know that the world has no capacity to love or hate?

Who's trying to separate themselves? It seems she's doing all she can to connect with, better, and enjoy the world she lives in. And I look at her as a good person for doing that.

Khaos, I agree to an extent. However, they may have made her famous, but they did not give her purpose. She did that all on her own through her own choices. I wouldn't call her mediocre or give praise to people who try and spread bitterness. The people who spread hate might create an opportunity, but they aren't the ones who choose to grow stronger and help the world around them.

I understand the point you were trying to make Resticon, but let’s not be silly.

I’m certain that none of you mean for your comments to sound like an attack, but they are starting to.

Let's try to be civil.

I didn't think it sounded attacking. :dry:
