Acceptance... A step towards humanity

                                          Acceptance... A step towards Humanity


Humans should learn to accept each other more often. They should learn to ask themselves as to who gave them the rights to judge and discriminate, and whether or not they are any better than the ones they are making fun of.


They should Learn to love and accept eachother, no matter what religion, race or financial background They may come from. No matter what they're wearing or what they aren't and no matter what car they're driving or what car they aren't.


Who are we to judge God's work and the situation he puts people in?  and based on what do we reach our conclusions of the boy sitting next to us in a coffee shop?
do we ask? do we care? or do we just jump to analysing every bit of his T-shirt and pants...wonder why he is wearing those in particular while he could wear something "waaay cooler than that!" . Do we care why that girl wears too much make-up? or why she isn't wearing hijab? Do we care about the weak and vulnerable? or do we just make fun of them and group on them?  be honest with yourselves.


You're all people who demand freedom right? you're all people who went on the streets and "sacrificed" your lives for building a better world right? you all seek to rise from the 'underdog level' and you want you're voice to be heard, you want to be civilized human beings .... well you want civilization?  why don't you start with humanity first and go from there... stop rejecting the other and stop fighting over every minute detail...put your attitude away and look at the person infront of you without any prior judgement, wait for what they can say....wait to hear their story...wait to see them with innocent eyes .They may surprise you !


Now, the surprise may not be so pleasant ,but atleast you learned for once to not judge by the looks or the money not even by the gun in one's hand.


We are all humans at the end, before cultures were separated and religions were labelled, before major plans were implied on the civilians and before we ever had to hate each other . Before ideas of man-killing and slaughtering were forced into our heads and made to look easy and allowed. we are humans.... carrying the same color of blood and structure of skin , we may have flaws ,but a person just isn't born with these flaws...it's us, we cause these flaws in character... we raise our children , the exact same "dumb" way that we were raised in.


We give them lists of people to hate and people to love.... Those who are acceptable and those who are rejected... Those who they should better stay away from  and those who are 'okay' to hang around with .... The same lists our parents have given us, same fears and doubts and insecurities , same prior judgement style never allowing us to break free . Girls that wear mini-skirts are those that you should stay away from for they are bold and sassy  and men with beards usually tend to be terrorists. right? 


Learn to accept the other person , for life has been just unfair to him as it has been to you , maybe then we can achieve the complete and full meaning of humanity... then I wouldn't be against you going on the streets and shouting for dear democracy.
