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!

CONSCIOUSNESS

In the simplest explanation, Consciousness is awareness of internal or external existence . We have made a   great deal of progress   in understanding brain activity, and how it contributes to our  behaviou r but conventional science aren ’ t able to explain consciousness. IF MIND IS MATTER...,there was an approach rooted by the philosopher Bertrand Russell   Bertrand Russell   and the scientist   Arthur Eddington  in 1920 ’ s .  I t turns out that physics is confined from  telling us about the   behaviour   of matter . M atter has mass and charge, properties which are entirely characteri z ed in terms of behaviour , attraction, repulsion and resistance to acceleration ,..correct? Apparently p hysics tells us nothing about what philosophers like to call “ the intrinsic nature of matter ” , how matter is in and of itself. It turns out, then, that there is a huge hole in our scientific world view where physics leaves us completely in ...

THE BATH OF DEATH

THE BATH OF DEATH or what is also known as 'Senicide'. A common practice in India till to date especially in villages. Many questioned how is this cruel compared to euthanasia? Who do we blame? Can education alone solve the social issue?  What sickens me more is, they justify this sinful act saying it is the will of God. It has become a lucrative business in India.  Well, read on what exactly is done to elders by their own children who look at them as burden.  The body is massaged with coconut oil, castor and sesame oils, usually at dawn. After this, the person is given a cold bath and put to bed. The body temperature soon dips, often to a lethal extent. After 15 minutes, the person is made to drink a few glasses of tender coconut water and a glass of milk. This causes renal failure. In a day or two, the person catches a fever and dies. If the oil and coconut water failed, the person would be given a glass of mud mixed with water or a bun which will be forced down their t...

THE MISFIT - Part 1

So, what is "normal,”? It’s basically whatever society considers acceptable based on their beliefs and the standards they've set. But does that really make sense? And where does our right to be ourselves fit into all of that? And then there's homosexuality - do people just wake up one day and decide to be gay? How do we wrap our heads around this? There isn't some magic gene that determines someone's sexual orientation. Your DNA can't tell if you're gay or straight. It's not just about biology, psychology, or life experiences - sexuality isn't a conscious choice you make, it's just a part of who you are. No one really knows for sure what causes someone to be gay, just like how you know you're straight. Some people still believe being gay is a choice, often pointing to religious reasons, but that's not entirely accurate. Old prejudices and fears play a big role here. Even if we acknowledge that sexuality exists on a spectrum, many sti...
