I’ve been gone a while again. But I recently realised that I write because I want to. So that should allow me some slack…
I spoke to an interesting girl recently. One who is vehemently against any stereotypes. I am not sure how I feel about that. I don’t like being stereotyped. But many phrases that we use in our daily lives are at the end of the day stereotypes. Words which previously held little significance for me now hold immense meaning because I’ve suddenly realised something that the society and I have done without ever realising it. Generalising people based on color, caste, gender, occupation, nationality or even religion.
Do I subscribe to such bias? No. Yes I dislike certain nations or people because of their actions/inactions but do I hate every single one of them? The answer probably is no. But the truth is I don’t know. What I do know is that only some blondes are dumb just like only some brunettes are dumb. Yet until I spoke to this one person (who I am sure my subconscious mind ingrained with certain subtle bias shall chase away), I never truly realised that yes, I too use certain words that may be offensive to the people concerned.
And for this reason I will strive to improve myself. Yes. Some may say I’m doing this for a girl. But even if that’s your reason, improving yourself is never wrong. Though I do hope you’ll continue even if she leaves. Because regardless of whether some fat person has a disorder or whether he’s just fat it isn’t our business and we should be more concerned about what we are doing wrong than what they’re doing in their own lives.
Good bye and Good Night! 🙂
Signing off.
