Ignorance






Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Everyone has the right to voice that opinion.

But if you expect people to respect your opinion-- even if they don't necessarily agree-- you should be able to respect others opinions as well.

I don't understand how people can be so close-minded. How can people always think that they're correct? How can they not handle even hearing someone else's opinion?

Different cultures, religions, languages, clothing and values. We are all different. And those who cannot accept that, are the people who start fights, wars and give a bad name to their entire culture.

When people ask, "What's so special about Christmas anyway?", "Um...why are you praying to those idols?", "Why would you want to starve yourself for a month?", "Why are you forced to cover your head with that turban?" "Why do you have that weird cap thing on the middle of your head?"

WHO CARES?! Why are you so concerned with what the entire world is doing? Why can't you just accept that certain people have different beliefs? If someone assumes something about you based on stereotypes, you don't like it, right? So what makes you think that it's alright for you to be condescending and put others down?

People need to grow up and learn that they're not always right. People need to grow up and learn to value the opinions of others. People need to grow up and stop being ignorant.
