The Spectrum of Good and Bad
There's a spectrum when it comes to everything. Sexuality, Religion, Gender fluidity and Goodness - or badness depending on if you're the glass half empty type - in this case the spectrum in question is the quality of a person. There are a few things I want you, as a reader and as an average everyday person, to think about.
The first thing is the definition of good and bad. To come up with your own personal definition you need to ask yourself the following questions. Am I a good person? Then ask yourself, is my answer determined by my actions, intentions, wants, needs, the way your mind works or, is it something else? Then you need to ask what would need to be different in order for the answer to change?
The second thing you need to think of is how do you determine if someone is good or not depending on your very first encounter. It could be the way they carry themself, their vernacular, the way they look at you. You can determine whether they're good or not based on their clothing, skin color, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, gender identity. But why? Why is that the reason and excuse you use to label someone as good or bad?
The third thing I want you to think about is a situation where you meet someone for the first time and you come to the conclusion that they're “bad” -I use quotation marks because the meaning of this word is now debatable and one persons definition for bad may be another's definition for good. - and as time goes on and you and this bad person learn more about each other your opinion of them changes and all of a sudden they’re good in your eyes. But the thing is what originally made you consider them as bad, it’s exactly the same. Your opinion changed and now you have to ask yourself, are you compromised -morally, emotionally, mentally it doesn't matter- or was that person always good and you’re just the bad one for judging and labeling a stranger?
This story is about a "good" girl and a "bad" girl who fall into "love" -Again quotation marks are used because the meaning of love is all dependent on your personal definition and where you stand in the situation- and explore themselves and each other with the support of those around them. They will learn to forgive as mistakes are made, boundaries are tested and lines are crossed. They will learn to cherish each other in the tender and private moments that they share. And you will be there through each and every moments that’s important to the story and quality or each character and at the end I hope to entertain you and show you have labels and judgment can be wrong and that you need to understand that there’s a spectrum when it comes to good and bad, that it’s not black and white but it’s all completely grey.
