On Ugly Babies
Now, before any of you read this, please understand that I do not condone the ridicule of ugly babies. The question of babies and their visual appeal has bothered generations. But unfortunately, a lot of it has been kept underwraps. I am sure that some of you have visited new parents and inwardly grimaced at the sight of their offspring and shuddered at the thought of more on the way. Some of you might have read my title and just retorted that there is "no such thing as an ugly baby" Who knows? What I want to submit is past the existence of an ugly baby. I take it a step further by discussing the complex issues that arise with the birth of a "visually displeasing" child. Read on, and leave your comments below if you'd like...
One of the greatest challenges facing mankind today is the appearance of ugly babies. On the arrival of a visually displeasing child, the parents are left with very little options. If the parents themselves are ugly, they most likely have come to some sort of insane idea such as "real beauty is within us" Thus, these parents will continue to create for themselves a little fantasy where their offspring is a little better than ugly: this is what we call "manageable" But, obviously, it is foolish to assume that this is in fact reality. The child might be able to avoid fate for a few years, but once he or she enters into the community of peers, the shell created by the parents will be destroyed. The peers will obviously recognize that the newcomer is, in fact, ugly. This leaves a whole array of questions open to the reader but I wont try to answer them here. This issue of horrid looking babies brings up another valid point-- the birth of an ugly child in a family of beautiful people. This is surely an unfortunate event. The beautiful parents are left with a confused mentality in the face of this new obstacle to their progress. Naturally, they will question their own identity in a society where their child is less than pleasing to the eye. They will also wonder how the baby will grow up in a society. These parents will, in the early years, try to get around this unfortunate occurrence, but after failed attempts will settle the the notion of a "black sheep" in the family. The prospect of ugly babies in previously ugly families and of those in beautiful families leaves us with one last prospect. The appearance of a repulsive child and the relative ignorance of the family members. This is evidenced by the constant presentation of the ugly baby to guests at their home. The parents do not realize that their baby is ugly-- and the guests concede this notion simply to avoid hurting feelings. Thus the parents never realize this atrocious looking being in their midst and proceed to lifting the profile of their child in public and private encounters. This is akin to hanging the baby by a string over a group of jagged rocks. The baby will have to deal with those in the public spectrum who will continuously hound it when it reaches the discernible age in a community. So we are left with questions we must ask ourselves. How do we deal with this phenomenon, must we make an effort to remedy the birth of an ugly baby by focusing on the specific aspects of the baby that might be slightly more appealing? Or should we give up and accept that the parents have been cursed? We may never answer these questions as long as this species continues to exist. In the mean time, I urge you to reach out a helpful hand to ugly babies. Give them love-- as fake as it might be-- perhaps their childhood will be a lot better than what fate has destined for them.

Many of the problems with our mentality can be summed up in the issue of ugly babies. Ugly babies are easy to spot, they stand out like a sunflower in a field of roses. Parents of ugly babies know full well of their child's aesthetic handicap, yet they refuse to accept it. Friends and relatives are forced to speak kindly of the poor babe, in fear of the violent assault that the truth would surely bring. True feelings are left unspoken, hidden behind the wall of guilt and embarrassment. Although easy to do, and seemingly the polite thing, lies such as these are the cruelest thing that can be done to the child. It is pointless to spend overwhelming amounts of time and effort to construct a protective barrier for this child. The wall will inevitably be torn down, causing greater destruction than normal. All the comments on how beautiful the kid is will be seen for the empty lies they really are. How is a kid supposed to react to this? Since the moment of birth, even the mothers of these ugly babies hide their sense of shame and failure behind a gentle smile and empty words. How can the parents teach the children about telling the truth when they themselves lie everyday? Hypocrites. If people aren't strong enough to do something themselves, they have no right to speak to others about the issue. There is no shame in grimacing at the sight of an ugly baby. There is no need to feel embarrassed or guilty. Ugly babies are just that, ugly. I believe they have a right to know of their condition as early as possible. There's no need to be cruel and shout insults at the ugly thing, but don't lie to it. It's just a fact of life that not all people are created equal; as a society and as individuals, we need to accept this. Some people have what it takes to become a movie star, while others are meant to sit at cubicles all day.

Hey Decruz, did you get all this insight after watching that video in Psych?
These ugly babies go through so much to come out into the world.This is what makes them ugly. As they grow, they usually turn normal. If they don't, its just really sad. We can't do anything about it. I don't know if the love towards the child has to be fake. Is love based on external appearences? If it is, Is that love or are we just giving out pity?

mah verdict: a ten on ten... both thumbs up... keep on hitting em nails on da head mah man...
