Neutrality

If I had to describe myself in one word it would be "neutral". Why? Simply because I am open-minded and non-judgmental to pretty much anything and everything. A label is not something that we should use on ourselves or other people because we can't possibly classify ourselves into any one category unless someone is shallow and uncreative enough to actually WANT to be predictable and mainstream. Who, on this planet, wants to be boring and predictable? I certainly don't.

Surprisingly, though, there are a lot of "plastics" or "carbon copies" out there in the world. People who copy someone else out of too much admiration, jealousy, or simply because they want to be part of the "in-crowd" are what I call "carbon copies". And no, ladies and gentleman, the term is not to be taken as a compliment. To me, a carbon copy is one of the lowest life forms on the planet. No offense... sort of.

I encourage everyone to make up their own styles and be their own person because then it makes life interesting for both them and the people around them. I may act a bit aloof or air-headed from time to time, but that doesn't mean that I'm "special" (not in the good sense). I like sweets and tend to get hyper, but I'm not naive, oblivious, or ignorant. I may act cold and distant randomly, but that doesn't make me "gothic" or arrogant. They just mean that I'm bi-polar and I have personal issues... and I get bored easily. Having a short attention span is not something to be proud of, for those who like to pretend they're childish and stupid.

Pretending to be something or someone you're not is about as smart as sticking your hand in a garbage disposal while it's turned on. I absolutely hate when people say they have "schizophrenia" or they're "bi-polar" or anything in-between. Having any kind of disorder or psychological problem is NOT cool and does not make you a better person. People who DO have a disorder will tell you as much. I have a friend who takes medication for such issues, she can tell you that it is absolutely NOT fun and that she would rather be a NORMAL person. Then again, what is normal?

Being "Emo" is not cool. Pretending to be Emo is pathetic. "Emo" has become a stereotype and stereotypes are retarded. Goth, Emo, Prep, Punk, Jock, Geek, Nerd, Loner, and everything else you could possibly think of... they're all meaningless and stupid. Just because someone dresses in black or likes sports or someone likes to play video games and mess with computers doesn't mean you can categorize them in as any ONE label. A cheerleader may actually be smart and like to draw in her spare time. A goth may actually like bright colors and play a bit of basketball in his spare time. A nerd may not be so smart and might prefer music to numbers. Humans are unique and there is nobody on this planet who has the right to degrade anyone else so much as to place a label on another.

You know, if people started thinking like this, we might actually find peace and be able to live together without going into another world war and destroying the planet by bombing the shit out of each other. Why should people be able to look at someone else and say right off the bat that they are "this" and "that" and that they act a certain way? Racism is ugly and stupid. Just because we may look, speak, or think differently doesn't mean we have to hate each other for it. "To each his own."

Just because your neighbor's skin is different from yours or that they come from another country doesn't mean you should hate them. I dare you all to try and talk to them at least once and see if they're the person you thought them to be. We are all equal in this world. We all deserve love and happiness and we all have the chance to find it. Nobody has the right to take it away.

Here's a question I'd like you all to answer:
Why do people like to hate?

  1. Hate comes from fear and fear comes from hate. People are afraid most of the time. Afraid to come out from their little boxes and worlds and open their eyes and just hear.
