I have taken criticism lightly since the age of five. ever since I brought my barbies to show & tell, I have handled harassment head-on, and never once have I ever looked inward for an explanation for the ingorance of others, thrown my way. never.
call me an old soul, say I'm numb to it. I've just always known how to navigate through it, and in a way- what to do with it and how to use it to my advantage. so I figure, why not share?
hate is an interesting thing. It's just as contagious and deadly, if not more contagious and deadlier than any plague. In my opinion, it is the only plague. not a plague cast by a higher power, but a plague cast from grown to young. hate is a movement and it has to be stopped. It is transferred to innocent minds that know no better.
the sad part is, the ones doing the transferring were once innocent-minded their self. which brings me to my point slash question. at what point is someone responsible for their own hate? for the hate they were taught to have for their fellow man. at what point is someone not responsible to think for themselves? to think maybe the hate they were taught might be wrong? take gay bashing for instance. at what age, at what point in someones life are they inexcusably wrong for gay bashing?
no one is born a basher. no one is. one of the main ingredients in the recipe of homophobia is fear. at what point is fear excusable? I myself don't have the answer. all I have are the questions. some idea, but mostly question.
the most important thing to remember, when faced with hate- is just to remember who you are. ask yourself if the person doing the hating really knows you. If what they're saying is the truth, or merely a jab at you. an attack to do anything to get to you.
these people do, and always have reminded me of the poor unfortunate souls from the movie 'The Little Mermaid', because if you think about it, all they're trying to do is drag you down. they want to drag you down in hopes of making you feel as miserable as they are.
haters are some of the most lost and sensitive people out there. they're lost because they don't know how to stop doing something they were taught. they're sensitive because deep down they know it's wrong, and they're paranoid someone might call them out on it. haters are just waiting to be set straight. they're usually the loudest, because in their own minds, they're the quietest. they can't think for themselves. they have everyone elses opinions and voices in their heads.
so, haters, hatees; If there is one thing I want you to take from this, it's the possibility that you may think for yourself. for that is the only key to success, happiness, and most importantly- understanding.
