What is wrong and what is right?
Hi there, it seems i haven't been typing in this webpage for a fairly long time.
I presume that its a day to day occurence that we judge somebody. I feel that in today's society, what is wrong and what is right is like black and white. When you see a guy on the street with tattoos on his body and a few facial piercings and he stares at you, what do you feel? Fear. It is because there is this perception in your head that people with tattoos and facial piercings are either gangsters or some guy with violent tendencies.
What if another guy who is totally clean gives you a same stare, would you still feel such a strong feeling of fear? I guess not. Because this guy leaves you possibilities of what he might be whereas the tattooed guy has already been condemned in your thoughts though FEW or NONE might actually admit it.
Let's forget tattoos. Tattoos are going mainstream and its getting more accepted by people.
Let's talk about women. A question for the gentlemen " What do you think of a pregnant lady without a husband or a young, beautiful single mother ?" I guess that many of us would think that she is "cheap", easily screwed over, desperate for love. Isn't it? Typical.
Next example, smokers. Friends of mine and people i do know had been condemning smokers as "dirty" and smoking kills. Its a fact that smoking kills. There are many reasons why people actually picked up smoking. Peer pressure, coolness factor and curiosity. For me i deem it as a part of growing up. I have always believed to living life to the fullest , experiencing everything for you only get to live once. But its really sympathetic that one's life has to depend on ciggarettes or even anything. A person life's being dependent on another is also another example. One's life should never depend wholly on anything or anybody. Have control, take control.
I just want to say education is over-rated. Behind every life, there's a story. Every situation is unique and there's no such thing as a generalisation. Experience, get to know then understand. Education alone can't tell you what is wrong and what is right.
My article is actually much more than this. I didnt save it and i lost it and i couldn't put in effort to re-type it. =(
