I remember seeing a twitpic on twitter and there was dis collage carrying the pictures of Karl Marx, William Shakespeare, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein, Adolf Hitler and co on one hand, with Kim Kardashian on the other. The message underneath said, "you are the problem if u know Kim and you don't know the other great men".
I asked myself, why would someone want to say something like that? So what if I know Kim Kardashian and I don't know the "philosophers"? Why would another person judge others on his/her own grounds?
Infuriated by the hypocrisy of our people and environment, I wondered why people act like they are the best and the most intellectual just cos they are holding a Dan Brown book or cos they open Wikipedia before twitter/instagram anytime they go online or because the appear to be "serious".
It doesn't matter if I don't like Mozart, Jazz or Acapella, if Fuji is what I like, why can't I choose what I love and love what I choose? Why must I have an accent to be "tush?" Why must I be "yellow" before I'm beautiful as a girl? Why must I lie that I like lasagna or any funky chop just to be "accepted" meanwhile guguru and epa is my 1st love? why can't I just be and be happy?
It saddens me when I see some people castigate others because of their belief systems. Many talk down on some, some talk down on many and others even de-friend others simply because they have divergent views that shouldn't even affect a friendship. What would happen if we all condemned each other because of our varying beliefs? How many friends would we have left if we de-friend them all? How long can u keep making and letting friends go?
You know that people have the right to their beliefs (as enshrined in the fundamental human rights), hence you shouldn't condemn anybody outright because of their choices. Its in poor taste, especially if you are educated and exposed (you should know better). In fact, it is a violation of their fundamental rights as a human being.
How would you feel if I condemned you because of what you think, feel or believe in? What if I told you that your mentality was ridiculous or outright stupid? Would you be dancing for joy that I think you are a joke?
Do you know how people feel when you laugh at them because of their ways? Do you know how many people living with low-self esteem or no-self esteem today? Do u know that some people just need to be accepted or better still "ignored" on their belief systems to be happy? Why don't you make the world a better place by shutting the hell up sometimes even though you don't like or accept someone's belief system.
As such, this is a clarion call imploring you to "plix plix and plix" be less judgemental in your dealings with others. Even though your dress sense, religion, culture, diction, background, taste etc may differ, tolerance is highly needed.
Rather than taking a judgemental stance, why don't you try to enlighten, correct or even ignore such a person.
