I really find it hard to accept the fact that we as people are categorised. Maybe it makes it easier for those who do admin etc., but what disturbs me the most is the fact that we as humans segregate ourselves. We group ourselves, discriminate against each other and judge each other. Yes its OK you can choose who you want to associate with, its partially OK to have enemy's and people you just dislike, but to pre-judge a person by the colour of his/her skin, they're sexuality, their culture, literacy level, is just insane.
You may be asking yourself why I wrote this post. Its merely because there's this guy that I like madly and I believe he also feels something for me. Getting to the point, I asked him why we aren't together in some form of relationship and the answer he gave me is because he is straight and I'm not. Thinking about it, he is affected by societies discrimination against homosexuality. I know there are people who can't be together merely because they have different skin colours, or they are from different cultures, different locations, and/ mental capabilities. You hear people saying " I can't date so&so because he's from a poor family". Like W.T.F, is that really necessary in our lifetime.
We keep on saying we've evolved from the way our gran-parents/parents think, act and get things done. But have we really? really?? 1) We keep on wearing the clothes they wore (vintage, colour-blocking e.t.c), why can't we create our own trends, for our children to call vintage. 2) We are just as stereotyped as they are 3) We continuously follow they're norms and standards. Why? why? why? I mean if women were forced to be housewives in those days, why are women still housewives just because the husband said so? Why do we have so called after9's, if we say that we accept homosexuals. Why do we find a man married heterosexually being sexually attracted to a homosexual man? Why do we have such high numbers of boys being raped by other boys? Why do we have boys who continually have sex with other boys at school hostels, university residences, boarding schools, and boys only schools? This is only because we are discriminating against them, just as much as discrimination was the "in thing" in the 20th century, we have not evolved nor revolved from the thinking of 20th century.
Can we please just be free, can we practice our freedom the way we were destined to. Can we stop creating barriers when there's no need to. If you want to date a poor guy/girl, please do so without thinking about your status and what people are gonna say. If your a lesbian, can you please be true to yourself and stop doing things behind closed doors. Can we be one and stop categorising each other. Can we please be happy and let others be happy as well. Can we please stop discriminating against each other. Can we learn and have knowledge of what love truly is. Because if this guy knew what love is, knew how to love unconditionally and let love prevail, my sexuality wouldn't be an excuse for us to form a relationship. Let us let love prevail.
Let us practice the love that God shows upon us. LOVE just LOVE.
