I've decided that people are unique; every person is special for the personality traits they do or don't have, for which morals they value the most, and just how they choose to interact with people in general.
There are flaws to everyone and I was wondering what makes others overlook them. If I look at myself; I simply believe that people should be accepted as they are, it's not my right to call who they are flawed for no one can be perfect. That's my philosophy most of the time.
Then there are people who look down on other people; and I have to ask them, what gives you the right? You expect everyone to accept you as you are, so why shouldn't you accept them as they are?
Then there are things like stereotypes, the "bad" people, double standards, society's standards, everyone just trying to fit in instead of standing out, basically high school in a nut shell.
Why are people ruled by these things? Why? Because it's easier just to turn over and go unnoticed? Do you ever get to truly be yourself then? What's the point in life if the only thing you're going to do is just do whatever everyone else wants you to do? And who gave them the right to tell you what to do?
So in point I've decided that I'm not going to let people get away with stereotyping people, being "bad", and having double standards. It's crap. As for everything else, the only thing I can do is just try and point that out to them; it's up to them to change, and maybe you.
Don't ever be afraid to be yourself; for if you're not yourself, than who do people really know?
