Imagine this- you did nothing much in the past days to cross anyone, you were well behaved and then poof! there goes your handbag. It got stolen! Or same thing where you did your chores, did well in school and then suddenly your house is on fire! and all your belongings got burnt in the fire. You must be left wondering...What did I do so bad that I deserve this? I'm sure some have come across this path in life where life put you down so hard that you start questioning things!
Well, if bad things happen to good people, why be good anyways? Isn't it easier to be mean? Isn't it easier to say whatever you want to that person who swore on you rather than sugar coat everything you say? After all, being good doesnt really have much perks and as the saying goes good people finishes last! So why be good?
There are many mean people especially in television. Okay, you must be wondering why do I always relate back to either celebrities, movies or TV shows. Well, it's easier to relate to them because they are known by almost everyone. If I do relate to some mean teacher from high school, only my high school friends and I could relate to that and not others. If I were to relate to someone mean from TV like Simon Cowell, now, who doesn't know him?
He's the mean judge in American Idol who speaks what he feels without sugar coating any criticisms. He has a sharp tongue and it can make people cry. However, what he says is true and honest 98% of the time. He may be mean but he's straightforward without beating around the bush. Well, he's mean but boy, is he rich! He has just been offered a huge lump sum of money to judge in X Factor and that's the reason he's leaving Idol. Also, he was even given a tribute at the Idol season 9 finale and was very much loved by everyone. Paula Abdul, the nice lady did not get that! Ha, so much for being nice, Paula...
Next, if you have watched The Devil Wears Prada, you will know Meryl Streep played the mean editor of a magazine. Poor Anne Hathaway who played her assistant. She had to think one step ahead of her boss so as not to make any mistakes.
But guess who is boss? Meryl Streep and as mean as she may be, she's still the editor, the rich lady, the one who gets anything she wants and known by all...
If you're a Gleek, then you would be familiar with Sue Sylvester. Jane Lynch is the perfect actress for Sue. She played it so perfectly. Sue is the meanest teacher of all teachers. She has only one goal: to bring down the Glee club! She goes out all the way and does everything to achieve that goal. She has the best punch lines in Glee. She's fun to watch but really mean. Celebrities normally say playing the mean role is always more fun! Jane, in real life is actually nice...
Lastly, Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. She is deemed the B*tch! She has minions in school to do her dirty work and does whatever she says. She ruled Constance(her high school) and was named Queen Bee. She speaks her heart out without a blink in the eye and you wouldn't want to mess with her. She's the typical high school mean girl that you may find even in your own high school...She's got the money, good fashion sense, the guys, good education and anything she puts her mind into!
I'm not saying, you should be mean because being mean is more fun, and doing good has less perks. But don't these people feel a pang of guilt after saying something mean? You do feel something right when you said something that shouldn't be said but it was too late because it was a spur of the moment. Then the guilt comes in. Sometimes, i do wonder whether Simon Cowell goes to bed thinking whether should he have said those mean things to the contestants? Probably not because he has been doing that for nine seasons haha
What I am saying is that, you cannot be good all the time because then you will be taken adavantaged of. You cannot be mean all the time because of your conscience. Strike a balance!
