It's what's on the inside that counts. (But that's telling me something.) Edition Greetings, minions, and welcome back once again to the greatest show on the planet which doesn't involve trained hamsters. Let me begin this particular post by saying that The Beast tries hard not to judge people too much as long as they aren't bothering me any. With that being said... some people are bothering me.  It gets said quite often by certain individuals that it's what's on the inside of a person that counts, and that people shouldn't be judged by their outward appearance. I can agree with that to a certain extent, but I think that mentality gets abused by some people out there in the world. The phrase is most often used to defend a woman on the larger side. I suppose it's been used to prop up some portly men as well, but I haven't personally experienced that nearly as much as with females. The reason this mentality irked me recently was due to me reading the profile of a woman who clearly had a double standard. She was a woman of larger proportions, and stated within her own profile that she's sick of men judging her on her size before even getting to know her. I would have left her profile on her side if not for the very next paragraph. She went on to describe her ideal person, and that person needed to be in shape and muscular. Somebody who takes care of themselves and has a bit of pride in their appearance. I fully agree that some people (men and women) will always be in a battle to control their weight. Some, however, look as if they don't put any effort into doing anything about it at all, and don't list anything within their hobbies to suggest that improving is something that they strive towards. What's on the inside might be what's important, but what's on the outside certainly gives an indication of what's going on inside of a person. If your outside appears that you completely neglect 1 of the 2 things we get in life to call our own (mind/body), then observers can probably infer that you are possibly lazy, don't give a shit, or can't manage your time wisely. (I say that due to so many people saying they don't have time to exercise.) I was in the Navy for 20 years. At sea I worked some of the longest hours a person can work a job, and then had to turn around and usually stand a 4 hour watch sometime during the night. I still managed to find 20 - 30 minutes to squeeze in a workout. Here in the states, I still had to sometimes put in a ridiculously long day at work, take care of the household chores when I did finally get there, take care of a , and all of the other things that life throws at you........ still managed to exercise regularly. The bottom line for me is this - While I agree that what a person has to offer on the inside is ultimately more important than what their physical appearance may be, that physical appearance can be an indicator that I'm probably not going to like what's going on inside. That can be true for physical fitness, your hygiene, how you carry yourself, and many other factors. BEAST OUT |
