Why? Why does difference make you stand out? Why does not following others like a sheep make you stand out? Why does race matter? Why does who you like matter? Why was there more then one mould made? Why are the other moulds used so little? Why must those who see life different be punished? Why must those who question be rejected? Why must those that think for there own be humiliated? Why must people be like this? Why?
If there are a group of black chickens & only 1 white one in it, you are naturally going to focus on the white one. Doesn't make it a bad thing to be different & stand out! Because there is the 'norm' & then there are 'us'--those that DARE to be different & go against the flow--someone's gotta shake things up to make life interesting... Race only matters if you are close-minded or of a certain generation, IMHO. Doesn't matter to me--I tell people I'm color-blind. Why does it matter that you (in general) care about what others think about who you like? If everyone & everything were the same, life would, indeed, be boring. Gotta have different colors, flavors, textures, scents--makes life more interesting! Maybe because there arent enough of us free-thinkers in the world to get those other moulds used? Punishment is in the eye of the beholder--at my age, it isnt very easy to punish someone as strong-willed as I... Don't stand for rejection! Make your voice heard--it's the only way to get things to change. Stand up on your soap box & shout to the world that you will not be ignored! People can humiliate you only if you let them...turn the tables or be the bigger person & let it roll off like water on a ducks back. You cant change others, you can only learn to deal with them on different levels. YOU are the only person you can change. Rise above the pettiness & stand for your beliefs. These are just my opinons on your thought-provoking questions. Don't know how old you are or what has you so pensive. My last sentence above says it all, as far as I'm concerned.
