Uddertorial. Differing views.
While you are all still trying to guess what is under Laurie Oakes, it’s time for the cows to take the bull by the horns and tackle a big issue.
Why are some people bigots, racists, deadbeats, etc? Call them what you will, but I wonder what their issue is. This came about after listening to a podcast about the Dreamtime game between Essendon and Richmond (yeah, some catching up to do) in which Michael Long was talking about Aboriginal players in the AFL. It got me thinking.
What is it people are afraid of when they meet someone they perceive as different to them? Why do people always assume bad things, when they have had no personal experience of it? What is the point I am trying to make? Well it’s like this….
Just say some guy finds out that someone he has worked with for a few years is Gay. Why do the deadbeats instantly think that the Gay guy is then going to force them into a dark alley to repeatedly rape them?
Why is it that if they meet an Aboriginal person for the first time, they instantly think that person is a drunk, who wants all your money, before they steal your car stereo?
Heavens forbid these people ever meet a Gay Aborigine, their head will explode.
My point is simple, respect is lost not earned. I’ve met all kinds of people all over the world, and the only time I have ever had an issue, is with the people who think those outside of their mirror image and thoughts should all be killed or burnt in hell for being bad.
You know, the world is a pretty simple place, but for some reason people want to over complicate things. I’m not saying free love for all, and unlock all the prisons and we can all be free. Just take a step back and ask yourself if something really actually bothers your life. Who cares if the Gay guys next door enjoy a morning romp in the lounge room. It’s not going to make the milk in your coffee go off, the world isn’t going to stop rotating. Why not be happy that in this busy world two people have found someone they love and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. Who cares if someone with a different nationality to yours is employed at your work. The building is not going to collapse, and Neighbours will still be on at the same time each weeknight.
So people, be more like cows. Just enjoy life, enjoy the scenery, relax, and every now and then get your nipples tweaked. The world is a great place, don’t screw it up for yourself.
