Recently, I have found myself wondering what it is about race, religion, gender that gets everyone so riled up. How is it so easy to look down on another person simply because they are different? Someone told me that I am not allowed to yelling in public because it will not make me look tough. It will make me look like a crazy bitch. Well, excuse me. After hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder if I allowed these weird little ideas about "how life should be" influence my opinions about other people.
I don't think that by yelling I am going to come off like a crazy bitch. I think it's more about what I yell. Just like if a man starts freaking out of ridiculous things, he will look like a crazy bitch, too. Yes, I totally think that both genders are equally capable of being bitches. The truth of the matter is you have no right to judge me. You do not know anything about me. (Same as I have no right to judge you.)
What is even more, race is so meaningless. Guess what? My skin is white. Does this make you like me more? Does this make me nicer? Smarter? Crazier? Trashier? How the heck should you know? You haven't met me. You have no idea what I am really like. The color of my skin literally says nothing about the content of my character. The truth of the matter is you have no right to judge me. You do not know anything about me. (Same as I have no right to judge you.)
Religion is something that really gets under my skin. I love believing in a higher power, thinking that there is a bigger reason to be a good person. I love when other people believe in something, too. I am all about having your faith. However, your faith is something personal. Do not tell me that I am wrong because I don't think the same way that you think. The thought of using religion to pass judgment on another person is absurd, and yet, it happens all the time. The truth of the matter is you have no right to judge me. You do not know anything about me. (Same as I have no right to judge you.)
Honestly, if all judgments were left out altogether and we simply took the time to get to know each other, the world would be a much better place. This is my current goal. I hope to spend less time judging others and more time making new friendships.
