THE MISFIT - Part 2


People are trying to teach each other to be tolerant of gays. I'm not ok with that. I am gay, and I am not seeking to be "tolerated." You tolerate stupidity or an annoying neighbor but I am not something or someone you tolerate. Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea. Understand that your morality is not law.

Discomfort or hatred towards gay community still remains a persistent problem in today’s society and it is becoming more and more alarming. The problem is that we live in a society where everyone is presumed to be heterosexual/straight and as a society, we still believe that everyone fits comfortably into a male or female gender category but the reality is clearly quite different.

Like racism and all forms of prejudice, bigotry against gay people is a deadly carcinogen. We are pitted against each other in order to keep us from seeing each other as allies. Why? What is it about gay people that disturbs you so much and you are willing to be so inhumane?

We don't want you to love us. We don't want you to like us. We don’t you to be our friend but to be treated with some respect. 8 out of 10 gay people probably wished they were never born and what more coming out of the closet. It takes no compromise to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect any individuals. It takes no political deals to allow people to exercise their freedom.

I am too valuable to be hidden in the closet. Being gay is not something that defines me. What defines me is what my mom always taught me, to treat everyone with respect and to always be kind. 

Weirdism' is definitely the cornerstone of my life!

Ravana: A Man of Great Potential and Terrible Mistakes by LordSeeths

  Ravana’s story in the Ramayana is not just about a villain trying to defeat the good guy, but about a human being with real flaws, struggles, and contradictions. His character resonates with so many of the complexities we face in our own lives his virtues and vices aren’t black and white, they’re a mix of light and shadow, much like how we all struggle with our strengths and weaknesses. Ravana: A Man of Great Potential and Terrible Mistakes 1.   The Scholar and The Devotee At the heart of Ravana is wisdom and devotion. He’s not some mindless monster but he’s a highly learned scholar, a gifted musician, and a devoted worshiper of Shiva. If you think about it, he’s the kind of person who’s achieved great heights in life through his own hard work and spiritual discipline. Just like many of us, Ravana strives for meaning and connection with the divine. His devotion to Shiva is so intense that he writes the famous Shiva Tandava Stotra, a hymn of ...

Mahabharata Simplified by LordSeeths

The Mahabharata is one of the two great epics of ancient Indian literature, the other being the Ramayana . It's a complex and multi-layered text, with stories, teachings, and philosophical lessons that have shaped Indian culture for thousands of years. At its core, the Mahabharata is a story of the Kurukshetra War , a grand battle between two groups of cousins—the Pandavas and the Kauravas —but its scope goes far beyond just the war itself. 1. The Core Story (The Kurukshetra War) The Mahabharata tells the story of a dynastic struggle for the throne of the kingdom of Hastinapura . The two main families involved are: Pandavas : Five brothers—Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva—born to the King Pandu and his wives. Kauravas : The hundred sons of Dhritarashtra, the blind king of Hastinapura, led by the eldest son Duryodhana . The rivalry between the Pandavas and Kauravas escalates, eventually leading to the Kurukshetra War , a massive battle ...

FAILED GOVERNMENT OR FAILED DEMOCRACY?

  Failed Government or failed Democracy? What would you call it when my freedom of speech is not allowed to be exercised? What would you call it when my opinions are considered racist due to my skin color and theirs are never? What do you call it when my privilege as a citizen is measured by my skin color? What do you call it when my tax contribution means lesser due to my skin color? What do you call it when my government decide what I should study, AGAIN due to my skin color? What do you actually call it? I am tired of this divide and rule nonsense created by the former Prime Minister who pretends that nothing is his fault and apparently flabbergasted with the behavior of his UMNO colleagues. Bear in mind that the politicians are using Corona virus crisis as an excuse for authoritarian controls and that is totally disgusting.   Malaysia has always been defined by ethnic politics since independence. 2018 was seen as a historic turning point. An election that overturned ...
