"Ladies:::This is the best quote ever!" -The Heart box

(via @RevRunWisdom)

I initially posted the above quote as a standalone, with no title (because I struggled to come up with an appropriate one). But something about it was bugging me, so I took it down.

Now that I have the time, I shall speak my thoughts.


See, when I first read the quote, I felt good about myself. And whilst it served that purpose, it also didn't sit right with me.

Sure it makes us feel better about ourselves because:
#1 it is true, sometimes we do wonder if there's something wrong with us
#2 it plays up our 'ego'(so to speak) by implying that we deserve someone extraordinary, hence the wait. *Tsk...

All that mambo-jumbo, I'm perfectly okay with.
What I completely disagree with, is the 'rotten' bit.

Thing is, I take offense that this Mr.PeteWentz coined the 'easy' ones as rotten.
NO ONE in this world is rotten, you fool!

Have you maybe considered that the ones you call 'easy' have their reasons for being attached?
Whether good or bad, it is not for you to judge.

Mr.Wentz, how do you think these girls would feel upon reading your quote?
How is it encouraging when you lift someone up at the expense of another?
You know, that just spells I.N.S.E.C.U.R.E.

Bottom line- totally wrong to use an apple tree as a metaphor if you're gonna compare 'good' apples with 'rotten' apples.


And Mr.RevRunDMC, as much as I respect you, you really should be mindful of the things you say and post. You are afterall a reverend, yes? Although this may sound cheesy, I feel it applies to you-

"With great power comes great responsibility."
