I don't believe that it is right to criticise anybody for their religious beliefs or for their sexuality. The way I see it, is that anything that is out of somebody's control, is not something you can criticise them for: you couldn't legitimately criticise anybody for their appearance, or for the sound of their voice, because that would just be ridiculous and I'm sure any reasonable person would agree with that. Therefore the same should apply to religion and sexuality. People certainly don't choose who they love or who they find attractive; it's different for all of us. At the same time, people don't choose what they believe. We all see life through our own eyes and looking at all of the evidence leads different people in different directions; for one person, everything may point to Christianity, another Hinduism, another atheism, and that's fair enough. So long as everybody accepts that these beliefs are not conscious choices, they shouldn't discriminate based on them. I wanted to write this because it seems to me that people often suffer a lot because people can’t accept other religions or sexualities. Almost everywhere on the internet you see people saying things like "Christians are so stupid", "atheists have no morals", "lesbians are so butch", "transsexuals are so creepy" but why? People are who they are and it is not for us to cast judgement and. in fact, many problems people have with certain groups stem from simple, but sad, misconceptions.

I recently stumbled across a rather wonderful YouTuber named Oleg Berg. What he does is, if a song was played in a major key, he alters it with a computer so that it is then in minor and vice versa. I find it very interesting to hear how different these songs can sound with a minor change and I’ve been listening to his reworkings a lot lately. I posted three examples below and I hope you like them as much as me. Long-time readers may know that, several years ago, somebody threatened to stab me. Luckily, I was able to persuade him not to by pointing out that we were in quite a crowded public area and he'd certainly not get away with it. He then walked off, but not without first warning me that he'd stab me the next time that we met.
Well, anyway, after that incidental piece of information, guess who I bumped into for the first time in six years the other night? I made it too obvious, didn’t I? It was night time and the streets were deserted; you could say, that it was the perfect time to commit a crime. I wandered over to him and I was murdered right then and there... No not really, because of course, bad things never happen to me and besides, only the good die young. As I passed him, I gave him a pleasant smile and he gave me an unpleasant frown and that was it. The moral of the story is that all of life's problems can be solved with a positive attitude and a nice smile. :) |
