One's good, is another's evil.
I can't express enough how the world amazes me with it's endless amount of paradigms. How the world can be viewed one way by a person, and how it can be viewed in a way that is insane to another. And I wonder how I can view the world through another's eyes, and I mean genuinely see it through their eyes, while others can claim to do so, but never truely understand what that even means.
I spoke with my mother about gays, she'd always told me that she has no problem with them, as long as her family wasn't involved with them. I can understand if she doesn't like the thought of it, and I can understand if she doesn't wish to be around them, but for the life of me, I can't understand this.
"I can't honestly tell you that two men or two women having sex is right."
*shrug*
"You don't think there's anything wrong with it?"
"No, I don't see anything bad about it."
"Then we have nothing else to say!" *storms off*
I can't possibly understand the narrow-mindedness of this. How can something that a person is naturally born with be "evil"? I had a conversation with some friends at school. According to them, gays are going to hell because they are gay and have sex with members of the same sex. What kind of insanity is this, to say? According to the Bible, God gives humans the ability of freewill, and the ability to make their own choices. This is done so that they alone have the power to save themselves from being sent to hell. If this is so, how can God possibly create a human in a way that they are, from birth, condemned to hell? Being gay is not a choice, it is simply how a person is. As such, if the choice is not their's, how can they be condemned for something they did not choose? Is this not hypocritical?
"What if I were gay?"
"I'd probably shoot myself. That would probably be the only thing in the world that would drive me to that."
This was not said with humor. She was serious about it. I can't believe the idiocy in this statement. I have such high praise for my mother, her good judgment and always trying to do the right thing, but this, this is just...*sigh* Why are people so easy to judge? Always ready to cast the first stone...God, it's so fucking frustrating to see how people can be so narrow-minded and feel self-rightous at the same time. Idiots, the whole world is a bunch of idiots.
