There is something to be said about wanting to see the good in people.
Cholette has taught me a very important lesson, as reluctant as I was to learn and accept it.
Yesterday, we were chatting, talking about Super Junior and SNSD as usual. I asked her if she had watched one of their older shows, Super Junior Super Adonis Camp. She did and because of it, she is on a 'break' from Super Junior...
Well, from liking LeeTeuk at least. She's deleted all her pictures of him and changed her picture in YM. Oh but she hates KangIn. That hasn't changed.
After hearing her out, both through chat and through the phone, I've come to understand that even idols like Super Junior, have their bad sides and faults.
Although what I heard about them in the Super Adonis Camp is more of borderline cruel and just not right. Cholette told me that LeeTeuk said something like, "I'm so annoyed by her to the point I want to stand up and hit her."
Okay, I can see that the girl was annoying and a bit strange. But she's still a girl. I mean, to want to stand up and hit her? Seriously, she's a GIRL. That just screams something about his true self, how he really is. And that was just one of the things Cholette told me about LeeTeuk that really turned her off.
Don't get Cholette started on KangIn. She can and will rant about him for as long as she can. The basic thing is that he's too much of a jokester, who doesn't take into consideration the feelings of others... Not having a single sensitive bone in his body.
To me, it seems that KangIn doesn't really know how to convey his affection towards his dongsaengs or sunbaes... So he jokes around, and the ones he picks on the most is the ones he cares about a lot. Twisted as it is, it makes sense.
But again, Cholette has a point. Joking around is fine and all, but if it reaches the point of really hurting someone, then that's just crossing the line. No wonder Cholette hates him with such passionate fury.
All in all, Cholette has really opened my eyes to Super Junior. Not only that, she has taught me to see more than just the good in others. To evenly see and accept the good and bad sides equally.
I've been viewing people through rose tinted glasses. I force myself to always see the good in them, because I'd rather be blissfully ignorant of their faults and continue to see only the good.
As hard it was for me to accept this about myself, I've finally come to terms with it. Thanks to Cholette, I can now really open my eyes and see everything that there is about a person. Nothing assumed, nothing biased. Thanks to a friend like Cholette, I can see someone for who they really are, the sides which are the beautiful and the ugly, the blessed and the damned.
I'm thankful to have Cholette, and many others like her. Friends are there to teach you, to help you grow. You do the same for them. I want to be like that for Cholette and all our friends.
Cholette, if you ever read this, thank you.
