Turned Tables
im feeling under the weather....and it's not a very nice feeling even though i overcome the initial throat infection quite fast in just a day. That was considering i ran out of doctors' prescribed lozenges long ago. i was blogging about something half way but got too tired coz i think the issue was a bit the serious. It was just a response to mariah's article on gay guys. Well, the only summary i can give in regards to the AIDs epidemic being largely due to the growing gay population...well....i would say that it's not the only reason.
It's a culmination of different factors and not forgetting that it is due to the popular myth that only gays will get AIDs which lead to the problem being even more massive than before especially among the heterosexuals. It can happen among heterosexuals especially if they switch partners ever so often. SO seriously, there is no point finger pointing right now as to which is the actual cause. Just think about our children who are the innocent victims to our complacency and that they will never have a future over something that they didnt do. Let's just strive to put a stop to the epidemic before it's too late.
As usual, I would say that I may be rather liberal in my thoughts whether over the issue of race or one's sexuality because bottom line is, we're still humans trying to survive every single day and finding the meaning of life. Yes sometimes we tend to think alike or do similar things which easily make people justify us in a broader perspective and it may not be a fair judgment especially if not all of us do that. Whether or not we like it, we get involved in it indirectly. Of course I do get peeved whenever single people like me are being called a potential heartbreaker or worse...a slut...just because we talk to someone else's husband. Like what? Single people can only talk to other single men or women? Who set this rule? But people can say what they want to say...do what they want to do....we just cant shut out society. What to do...we just carry on with our life.
But generally, I think that we should not look down on others just because we dont do those things that they do which we condone. Just think, we dont like it when others stereotype us but we stereotype others? I mean we're all not perfect in the first place and then after writing this, I will stereotype the next person i see. Someone said that there is a racist in all of us so it cant be helped. But that's like saying we lack the ability to think. We can try to not do it so much or think about how it is like if the tables are turned.
So come on, banish those ugly thoughts and we just concentrate on ourselves rather than nitpicking others. I will do the same thing too..coz..well...who knows...i may be guilty of finger pointing too unknowingly.
