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 still think it's fixed and unchangeable, but our desires can shift based on our experiences.

When it comes to faith and relationships, some seek guidance from their beliefs. Ancient Hindu texts acknowledge that being gay can be natural, advising parents on how to handle it, without condemning it. Being homosexual is just a part of who someone is and should be accepted without judgment.

I remember when I first came out as gay, someone actually asked me when I decided to be gay, which seemed pretty ridiculous. It's like asking when you started liking a certain food or drink - it's not a conscious decision. Our desires evolve and develop over time based on our experiences and environment.

Humanity isn't solely defined by biology; we're shaped by a variety of factors, with our surroundings influencing who we become. The notion of homosexuality as taboo needs to be challenged - it's not about being "normal" or following some rigid standard. Each person has the right to love and be loved, regardless of their sexual orientation.

For me, it's not about being born gay or straight - I see myself as a human being with the freedom to express myself, discover my preferences, and above all, to love and be loved.

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 ...
