How many of you think that calling people names is cool?
How many of you think that calling people names is cool? I'm not talking about the friends you frequently talk to, because when you know people, you may not like some parts of them. We cannot force people to really like us. That's why we spend our lifetime to search for our so-called soulmate. Then how about strangers? Complete strangers. We don't know what they have been doing, their work, their life, etc. How many of you calling them names based on their physical appearance?
It is never cool. It's not creative inventing names to mock people you don't know about. Calling a lady as one of the animal, things, etc. just because of her look, it's sexist, even though you're claiming that it's not what you mean. Calling a man as one of the animal, things, etc. just because of his look, it's sexist, even though you're claiming that it's not what you mean. Just because you say you don't mean it, it is not. Often you know it is, than you defend yourself claiming that you're not.
Don't call yourself a respectable or noble or smart or creative one if you do this, or even if you earn a title because of this nonsense behavior. This is not me being uptight, we're talking about human right. It is human right to be respected!
Put yourself or your loved ones in their shoes. Really. If you or your loved ones are the subjects of mockery, what will you feel or what will you do? If you're mad and you want to kill the people who do the mockery, then you are not allowed to be angry or seek justice if they are angry or they are trying to kill you. Hatred spreads fast through words. Nowadays it's even faster as we can do it on twitter or facebook or YM or MSN, whatever. Don't say you miss love reigning the world, don't curse terrorism if you spread hatred. Hatred and violation of human rights are terrorism.
Look at yourself closely if you have been committing this crime compulsively. Are you having self-esteem problem that you have urging need to mock strangers in order to make you feel better about yourself? Well, fix yourself, don't make other people be a victim of your own problem. Seek help, there's still love left in this world. Be it your friends or professional ones like self-healers or psychologists. Fix yourself, fix the world.
