The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Wikipedia. Watch movie.
What I wanted to get at is the good & the well that brings out the ugly. It cracks me up when you (I) run into people (most of us are guilty of this) and they (we) say something like, “How ‘ya doin’?” and you (they) reply “Good- how ’bout you?” and they (we) retort, “I am doing well” as if they (we) are the parents all of the sudden- making sure that we’re going to be able to get into college someday because we can respond correctly to the most uninterested personal question we receive daily.
I think I’ll keep it to this from now on and see how they respond, because in my view it is grammatically correct: “I am doing good (in reference to living a fulfilled life contributing back to my community) and feeling well (alive and healthy)” and then I will ask them, “What good are you?” Is that too Ugly?
