If I had a chance, I’d Redefine the meaning of…

We are experts in judging others’ religions, nationalities, genders, preferences, and lifestyles. Because whatever we side with that is the smartest choice ever, isn’t it?

What if it is wrong what we believe in?

I think our minds are subconsciously filled with misconceptions and stereotypes, the worst thing is that we are content with them since we are not aware of them.

I know It seems complicated but it isn’t. The point is that we had biased beliefs and have been manipulated by TV, films, and society for ages. We have been hostile and hateful to people who are clueless about real of them.

Besides, Minorities, differences, and individualities have been vanishing in the name of social norms and cultural expectations. Yes, unfortunately, we are not intolerant of others. We are expecting everything should be the same as the definition of us and our beliefs.

Good Time to forget everything we have been taught

Today is a good time to forget all we are sure about and evaluate them anew without prejudgement.

Today is a good time to be courageous and question ourselves and things that we strongly disagree.

Today is a good time to put aside stereotypes and prejudges.

Today is a good time to embrace differences

We need to change them Since…

Since many people are suffering stereotyped thoughts.

Since we are vanishing all authenticities.

Since life is able to contain richness simultaneously.

Since as individuals who live in the technology age are enough smart to alter something that goes wrong.

Since the tiniest change will have profound repercussions

Since we don’t have a right to take someone’s freedom away.

Here’s the deal.

  • Let’s leave people’s lives to them. Stop labeling them because of their choice. No matter how they dress, or how they live.
  • No matter how we define it, we should not forget to take into account the uniqueness of people.
  • “Start changing yourself if you want to change the life around you”. which are words from Mamatha Gandhi.

Thanks
