Yesterday, as has become somewhat of a habitual routine of mine, I was at the park, being titillated by my own thoughts when of a sudden one of them came to me as being worthy of further mental masturbation. I had been in sort of an indifferent viewing of the many joggers as they plodded, bounced, flabbed, jiggled, rolled, grunted, coughed, huffed, spitting luggies as they passed me by in their assorted colored, material, styled and shaped jogging gear. A small few of the “athletes” had seemed fit enough to be out there without standby emergency medical support teams with US-CERT at the ready. However, for the most part, all of them seemed to me to be all but on their approach to the coroner’s office – as a stiff. Anyway, as to whom also had been at the park there had been a couple of city employees who were out cleaning, pruning and making beautiful this park for all those would be Olympians. I couldn’t help but notice their physical appearance, noticing that every one of them was slim – not having bulging guts and flapping breasts. Hmmm. Why, I wondered, why were they so “fit,” when all they do is stand around and work hard? Just a thought.

Firstly,I do agree with you,they are real beauties in the eyes of an artist,a writer,or a musician etc.

However not everyone possesses that kind of far-sighted and unique perspective as yours.Sometimes it is the angel and attitude you choose to look at things and then they are beautified in the hands of an artist.

 For others who are cocky and contemptuous(maybe a small part of people) ,they might probably look down on these low status working class and show apathy on them let alone "beautiful"That kind of people do exist in the socitey who play a necessary part of the socail development though it is marked with bad morality

And for the working class who struggle for a better life,how many of them can be so aware of just being a cleaner through all his lifetime but still regarding it as beautiful as ever since life has been so cruel to them?Many of them might have once dreamed of a different and much better life as of the people who besutifies them or even despises them.

 To me of the most beautiful people they will be found on the brink of day, the morning being cold and wet… these, the beautiful will be within our city streets working to keep them clean; they too will be found at a late-night-hour cleaning tables after the big and indifferent partiers have long left their soiled dishes.  Also too those among us who are beautiful are those who are to be found caring for a homeless child or a mentally and socially disconnected elderly – these and others like them – they are the “beautiful.”

Because they live a simple life which makes them simple.
