People

Why is it a culture to judge people according to their mistakes? Why people take into accounts the flaws you have yet abandon the sides of you which shines? All these things are creating barricades among social groups once you’re unaware of the emotions that’s going on in you, you show your imperfection, and there goes your reputation. No matter how many other qualities you have good or bad.

This leads to social discrimination, your considered inferior to those who just saw your imperfection. Well, I will not touch on that topic for now, but I do want to emphasize on how people react to these things. In my opinion, a mature person will always leave his or her mind opened to any subjects. But what normal people would do is when they see something bad in oneself, they end the topic with a conclusion - that this person is bad.

This is a common habit which one always makes. Not knowing no matter how bad that person is, there are good qualities in him or her that deserves respect. For example, Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), Hitler converted Germany into a fully militarized society and launched World War II in 1939. He instituted sterilization and euthanasia measures to enforce his idea of racial purity among German people and caused the slaughter of 6 million Jews, Sinti and Roma (Gypsies), Slavic peoples, and many others, all of whom he considered inferior.

Every one of us thinks he’s the worst person on earth. Little did we know he’s actually one of the greatest dictators in the 20th century? His words managed to convince millions to worship him. He’s public speaking skills well exceeds all other politicians. For that, I respect him. Not that we should worship him or anything, but if we push aside all those mindless killings and warmongering. He will be considered one of the greatest men on earth.

If only he used his talent for good, if only he used it to make the world a better place and not just “cleanse” everyone that is inferior. Osama bin Laden (1957- ), he freaking created a religion of his own! Despite all the bombings and all, I think he’s a great man. At this, many of my reader may be well disturbed, but this is my opinion, and it’s not bound to satisfy you. I’m not saying he’s a good hearted man, but a great man can be evil as well. Like the Bible, well, not that I know allot about it. But I think Lucifer is a VERY talented angel. He’s only mistake, to go against god. I hope my point is made.

Many of us follow the road everyone takes without thinking why. Our parents, friends and relatives says tells us “don’t watch porn. It’s bad.” or some of them bother to explain a little but only a little because they think we are too “young” to understand. Now tell me, who determines who is “young” and who’s not. Who standardized the whole “under 18” thingy? Tell me, WHO? The government, I’m not saying it’s wrong to do that, but I’m saying that may be applied to most people, BUT NOT ALL.

Whether one’s mature enough to understand the circumstances of adultery or watching theses things isn’t just decided by age, it’s decided by one’s mantle background. Whether he or she was brought up in away to mature mentally faster then others or not. And YES, I’m indirectly putting the blame on parents. A person matures according to how one’s family treats him or her. Their parents should not have a mantle blockage saying “oh your not 18, that’s why you should watch porn or smoke.” That is actually VERY BAD. Simply because when that little child is 18, he would think that I’M FINNALLY 18! I CAN DO ALL THOSE BAD THINGS! Well, NO… in my opinion.

We should never touch cigarettes nor alcohols or of any such. Porn? I got a totally different opinion on that and why one should only be exposed to that at a later age and will discuss it later… when our parents tell us to do something, we should always pop the annoying but beneficial question – WHY. A parent should know better then to just say “don’t ask why, just do it.” But take the time AND effort to slowly explain to the child. It’s annoying sometimes when little kids keep asking why when you ignore them; I’ve experienced it personally myself. But if you really care for the child answer them as polite as possible. And if they keep going on with “whys” (I’ve personally experienced this myself too, as we know that why is special in it’s way that is CAN go on forever) just say politely say I’ll tell you later, I’m busy.

I’m not going to go on and tell you what if he asks another why because it WILL be never-ending. But what ever you do, do not discourage that child to stop asking questions. If that child is your sibling, better still, say “go ask your mom” it’s very effective. As for us, when an adult tells us something is wrong and we shouldn’t do it, we should ask the magical question too, why. And if explained, then better. Go study on it, and then only form our own opinion.

Same goes to the social groups we have in college or schools, some girl goes around bitching about another guy. Instead of just listen to her talk bad about him, we should ask why. And it don’t just stop there, because her opinion may be incorrect. So after we listened to her, if we are really concern, we should go find out more. Consult that guy’s close friends, ask about him. Then most probably we will find out that there was a misunderstanding. I can assure you this, when ever one is talking bad about another, 80% or more of the time, misunderstands are the cause of it.

Assumptions, is what our biggest mistakes. If we break the work down, assume = ass-u-me. Meaning when we assume, we make an ass of you and me. Interesting huh? Who ever came out with this word… for those who have a different opinion on what ever was discussed earlier, I would like to know it for my knowledge is limited to such and I’m considered unwise to some. For those who agree, I hope this opens your mind to a whole new world of differences.
