A Blog About Everything.

But here’s the deal, words like “ableism”, “racism” and “sexism” piss me off. I wasn’t going to post my opinion on tumblr but I decided I’m just too upset not to express myself in some way.

Now, when I say this, here is what I mean: All of these words and ideas are social constructs. By labeling these acts, aren’t we making them even more prevalent? There are no races, we’re humans. HUMANS. We’re all made of the same parts, the same organic material. WE ARE THE SAME. Can we just stop all of this bullshit already? Yes, we’ve had terrible tragedies happen in the past because of this feature or that feature or this belief and that belief. We’re never going to escape those things. You know how we can attempt to prevent them in the future? TREAT EVERYONE LIKE A HUMAN. YOU KNOW, THOSE THINGS WE ALL ARE.

Humans have great potential to be destructive, beautiful, creative, intelligent, caring and mean. Every person has that potential. We’ve seen the ranges of what people are capable of from Hitler to Mother Theresa. HUMANS. Let me say it again, HUMANS. I’m not saying “Let’s all be like Hitler!” or “Let’s all be like Mother Theresa!” I’m saying “Let’s all just treat each other the way we want to be treated and stop being completely stupid.”

There is no “normal” or “abnormal”. Man and woman may be labels we may or may not need but they’re more like subcategories. HUMAN is at the top no matter what.

Homophobes? Racists? Remember this: Every HUMAN loves. They love exactly who they love. HUMAN. HUMANITY. We were built to love, get over it.

I’m not a big fan of religions (I’m not exactly atheist either, I’m in some sort of gray area) but as far as I can tell every religion seems to have some variance of the golden rule “Do unto others as you have them do unto you.” (Yes, that is the Bible version. It is the one I grew up with but not the belief system I subscribe to)

Doesn’t that MEAN something to ANYONE anymore? The fact that just about every religion and country on the planet knows that phrase?

HUMAN

HUMANITY

HELP YOUR FELLOW (HU)MAN

Why do we need these stupid words to describe hate when we could just largely do away with said hate? We will never be a “politically correct” society. It is never going to happen. Everyone IS different which means everyone gets offended by something different. The best we can hope to achieve is to love our fellow man and be a better society overall.

You know what you can do to start the process? Stop using these words. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Remember that saying? Start ACTING like a better human and maybe you’ll touch more people and inspire THEM to act like a better human. Stop using silly words that describe the hate that offends you and take actions that are the opposite of them.

Love your fellow human. Do away with hate. Pay it forward. Actions speak louder than words. Smile at everyone. Remember these small steps and maybe your life will improve and you can help improve the lives of people around you. Small actions can make the difference. Reach out and touch someone’s life. If there is something you don’t understand, learn more before passing judgement.

We are HUMANITY. Fuck labels and words produced by hate. Be a better HUMAN.

I usually don’t write responses to people upset with Glee. This time I felt compelled. I like Glee. It is funny, the music is good (the cast is talented), and sometimes it is even well written. I’m okay with people hating it, honestly. Oh well, that’s your opinion.

Glee isn’t always “right” or “politically correct” as I said in my previous post. Neither is real life. We all have things we get offended at. Real life is filled with misunderstandings and drama much like the world of Glee. Life is complicated; Glee tends to illustrate that point. Having any sort of relationship with another person can take many twists and turns, especially when we’re younger.

I never said it was the greatest show over and I’m not claiming my undying love towards it, I’m just stating an opinion. If you want to watch television that is actually close to real life, I have to say Glee is the closest I’ve come. It may not have the best writing but it is relatively close to real life.

When you watch as much television as I do and you know as many people/have a lot of connections with people, you tend to notice things. In my observation, Glee is worth watching.

I’m beginning to think people hate it just BECAUSE of how much like real life it is.

(Again, just my observations and opinions)
