The society has gone crazy!

I love the fuchsia color; do you love it too? Maybe yes, maybe no

I know that this will sound insane; but who do you think is better, someone who loves the fuchsia color, or someone who doesn’t?

Who do you think is more beautiful; A blonde, a brunette or a red-head??

What do you think is prettier, long hair cuts or short haircuts?

Do you think if I said that I like rap music, people would judge me?

Isn’t it strange that here in Africa people are obsessed by having a whiter paler skin; while Europeans who actually have that skin pay lots of money to get a nice tan?

In the past, racism was defined as discrimination according to skin color; black people were to be treated as if they were somehow less than white people. Racism was a very bad thing and the word “Racist” was offensive.

Nowadays, racism has gotten a better look and many different names. And instead of attacking it, we all began to be its followers.

Yes, racism is everywhere; it’s inside the magazines pages that girls think they’re like sacred or something, it’s on  TV 24/7 on different channels, it’s in streets and schools… it’s everywhere!  

Society now puts patterns for how we’re supposed to look, dress and act; and anyone who doesn’t fit in these patterns is considered somehow less than the others… I call that racism!

I have friends who are like size 2 and they actually think they’re fat, only because they don’t look like the models in the magazines that are like size zero or something, or because they have pear shaped body, blah blah blah…

I have friends who wear colors and outfits they don’t really like, just because they saw them in a fashion magazine!

I have friends who lie about the music they listen to or the hobbies they like, just because according to our society they’re uncool!

Seriously, what’s wrong with us? How can we let some magazines or some TV shows judge us like that? How can we let them tell us how we should look or what we should like? What gave them that right?

The society is getting crazy and we have to stop it. The definition of “Beauty”, “Coolness”, “Fashionable” or whatever words they use has to be changed. And we have to stop competing ourselves with anyone.

Start by yourself, stop being a follower to “Racism” and be the leader of your own life!

Let the kindess flow

I am going to tell you a secret; well I guess it won’t be a secret anymore. It’s a system that I have been using for a while and it brought me a lot of joy thank God :) To be honest, I am not the one who made it up, but I don’t remember where I got it from :)

So here it is; whenever someone does a kindness act towards you, you go do the same act to someone else. I call it “The circle of kindness”; for example, if someone compliments you, you go compliment someone else (A real compliment of course on something you really like about him). If you got a call from an old friend and it made you happy, go call another old friend and ask how he is doing :) if you get a text message from a friend in the morning that gives you a big smile, send a message to another friend and brighten his day :) Even if someone smiles at you, be sure to smile at someone else :)

 Got it? The idea is to let the kindness flow among us. It’s not to be a hypocrite and act like you care about these people; it’s about doing something nice to people whoever they are and to make them happy with a little act of kindness. And I am sure that when people are happy it reflects on their jobs and their relationships; so it’s like killing too many birds with one stone :)

Remember; just like energy can never be destroyed, kindness acts can never be wasted, they just flows from one person to another :)
