it's all society

easy as hell to blame society, ain't it?

racism = because of society
sexual orientation intolerance = because of society
gender inequality = because of society
terrorism = because of society
oppression = because of society
people being fat = because of society
people being skinny = because of society
people being stupid = because of society
people being smart = because of society
too much facebook = because of society
too much homework = because of society
too much taxes = because of society

societysocietysociety. well. this goddamn society's gotta change a lot of themselves, don't it?

well, guess what? quit blaming society and start taking action yourself because you know what? we ARE society.

the definition of a society is a group of people that's related politically, culturally or spiritually. so basically, any relation you have to someone makes you a society.

so...who are we really blaming here? ourselves. however, the sad thing is, it seems that people have begun to make an idea that a "society" is a separate thing altogether. it's almost like you're taking the blame off yourself and throwing it onto this theoretical thing known as "society." it's all "society's" fault.

well, i think this "society" has too much of a power over the mind of people. remember: we. are. society. if there's a problem with it, that means there's a problem with us. so if we have a problem with us, who else to change it other than...us?

and don't even fucking argue that "you can't change the mind of the majority blahblahblah" well FUCK THAT. at LEAST start the change with yourself! it does a hell of a lot more than just bitching about it, blaming it on something that doesn't even really exists! you never know who sees you, so if you just change yourself in a way that you know will help the world in a positive way, you're bound to inspire someone. and they're bound to inspire someone else. it's better to inspire one person, then be known as the bitch who can't handle society's standards.

man. every time someone says "well, in our society.." or "well, it's their society..." it really just...really just pisses me off. just because you grew up with it doesn't make it right. if someone grew up in an abusive home, does it make it ok for them to be abusive as well? those who do not question their upbringing really need to...start questioning. seriously. what if there's something better out there that you're not aware of? what if there was something wrong with the way you live and you weren't even aware of it? what if your "normal" isn't...normal? and an even better question is: what if your normal isn't right?

i mean to use the word "right" in that question in terms of...human equality. of basic human rights and basic laws of justices...just basically, something that we all deserve as living creatures. i mean, growing up, didn't you ever even a little bit, wonder why boys and girls did something different? why kids that aren't of the same race don't hang out with kids of another race? why the food you eat are different than the food of your friends? some of these are insignificant differences, but some of these need serious consideration.

i guess instead of complaining about problems, we should ask how the problems began, in instead of wallowing in how the problems began, we should look for ways to solve them.

moral of the story: stop bitching. "be the change you want to see in the world" -gandhi (holy shit, i just misspelled his name like sixty times...i'm sorry joe)
