Our big angry hateful world...

























This is the world we live in. A world that is so full of intolerance and hatred that other people refuse to let strangers - people that they don't know - be happy.
I mean really...come on!
What difference does it make to you if some random person somewhere else believe in a different God from you? If believing in this God makes me happy?
What difference does it make if I want to smoke pot - if it's not affecting you at all? If it makes me happy?
Really - what difference does it make in your life if I chose to have an abortion? Really? How would it affect your life if - instead of bringing a child into the world that I wouldn't be able to feed or clothe - instead of bringing a child into the world who isn't wanted or loved - instead of dropping out of University - I had an abortion? If, without the child I would be happy?
What difference does it make to you if I'm in love with a woman? If I want to spend my life with a woman? If being with a woman makes me happy?
Why do complete strangers wish unhappiness on me?
There is just such a high case of intolerance in this world. And I'll admit that I am one of those people who are intolerant. I am intolerant of ignorance, and prejudices, and hatred based on religion, or gender, or sexuality. I am intolerant of people that cause unhappiness.
And although these people should not be recognised, although angry hateful comments should be ignored it's difficult.
It's difficult to ignore the fact that you're being pushed in the club because you're a "homo".
It's difficult to ignore that people will hate you and not be friends with you, just because of who you love.
It's difficult to hear people use the word "dyke" - and express their hatred for you.
It's difficult to be judged merely based on the people you love.
It's difficult to not judge them back.
It's difficult to not become as narrow minded and hateful as those people - to not be intolerant of them, and their narrow minded lifestyle.
It is difficult to not be angry...
