Three.

Alot of things go through my head everyday. Unfortunately, the majority of the people around me are mentally incapable of handling it all. Thus, i'm forced to stop my usually random but valid trains of thought at this rejectified station that I have created. Anyway, it's crossed my mind just about five seconds ago a question....why is different so bad? Why is it treated with such a negative connotation?

I find it quite hypocritical how we can live in a capitalist society based off of competition and diversion...and yet when someone decides they want to step out of "the box", there's a problem. We can take pride in liking Lucky Charms over Fruit Loops, but when someone takes pride in being Baptist over Roman Catholic, Homosexual over Heterosexual, or fat instead of skinny, there's a problem? Go capitalism.

It kills me when people single one another out for differences because it's those differences that makes us interesting and even remotely bearable to one another. If we all liked the same foods, shared the same religion, freak nastied with the same kind of people, weighed the same, had the same hair, clothes, etc, we'd be nothing more than a bunch of gray blobs that would have more fun humping ourselves than living. Not to mention we'd want to murder one another a zillion times more than we do on any given day.

I have personally been singled out for liking to rock a mohawk over a ceasar. For enjoying rock music and jazz over rap. For drinking, for singing, for writing, for living how I please. The fact that my life affects so many other people's existences is heartwarming. Or nauseating. Or both.

Bottom line is, if people stopped spending so much time wondering about others and judging them for the things that are different about them, maybe they'd have more time to look in the mirror and judged the "most fucked up" or "most pathetic" thing this world has to offer. The real reason behind why they can't get over the decisions other people make. The real reason behind why they can't accept that some people like to just live. Damn that reflection.
