I'm really bored at home, just reading and flipping through my textbooks, trying to concentrate, but I'm sure all of you know that I've failed terribly. As I'm reading more, I realized that this world is filled with unfairness and even though there are legislation and policies that protect the welfare and interests of people, it's not enough, it's never sufficient. So what if there's laws that state that discrimination is not allowed, people don't care, that's mankind, nonchalant attitude is what comprises of us. I'm not saying that most of us don't care about the others, it just that it gets me really frustrated when I read about how minorities are being despised upon, making them feel marginalized. Is there really a need to treat them this way? They are humans too, they're no different from the majority.
I wish I have to power to create the world that I want it to be. How the world should be, it should be filled with showers of love and care. "Love each other or perish", I really like this phrase though I can't seem to recall where is the source. Without love and care, who exactly are we are? Without love and care, I guess we would probably live in a world filled with hatred and grudges, that explains why wars break out, why riots occur and why people resent one another even for the slightest mistakes. The price to pay for hating someone and holding your resentment towards them is high, a price that we can never afford to pay no matter how much wealth an individual or a country has. All the lives lost, all the properties destroyed and all the innocent ones who lost their dear ones, no, it's never the right choice to resort to violence to fight for what you think is rightfully yours. There's always a better solution than violence. (I think enlarging certain words make them looks more powerful!) People are so afraid to love, because they are afraid of getting hurt, for another time, by the same issue again. I just hope more people will dare to love, dare to say the phrase, "I LOVE YOU" more often and making sure that they mean it when these 3 words, 8 letters, 1 meaning is being said. Say it before you can, before it's too late to even utter theses words out.
Probably one of the many concerns we are facing in this society will be gender inequalities. The gender roles behind each sex is overrated. Who said that women are the only nurturers of the child, and should stay home and be a housewife? Who said that men can't stay home and help with the household chores while still going out to work? Females should not be discriminated just because of their gender. Victims of abuse are majority women, employees with lower rank are usually women, employees with lower pay are mostly women, parent who does most of the household chores and cater to the needs of the children are mainly women. Tell me why is there even such a gender difference in our society? Don't despise us women, just because we abide doesn't mean we are good to bully. The society is moving forward, we should not stay in the whole mindset of a patriarchy society anymore, it should be a gender equality world.
I should just leave my thoughts and comments for some other day now, I'm getting tired and thinking of social issues upset me because it shows me how cruel and how inhuman some human beings can get. I just hope that the world will change for the better. Throw away the judgement, embrace the differences, that's how it should work out.
