General thoughts and observations...

Posted 04-11-2010 at 09:57 AM by Time and Space


Hi, it's Sunday...and I'm about to smack down on some live and onions...but before I do...let me lay down some thoughts...

First...why do people say their open minded and accepting when their really not?
Why pretend to be open minded and accepting of others if in reality your only open to people who 'turn you own'?

I mean that's really what it all comes down to...most are only open minded to people whom they feel they can pro-create with...

This applies to all people and ethnic groups...for instance...I heard a black guy say once that he was open minded when it came to music and listened to different styles...
To him, different styles meant different styles of R&B...
To me, to be open means to recieve people the way god does or would...
To not have a preconcieved preference based on culture, race, ethnicity, language or gender...
God has to recieve prayers from everyone around the world, for we are all his children...
But yet, we as humans, turn around and form preferences in our minds...

Makes no sense to me...no sense at all...

Sometimes I think I'm the only real person left on this planet who actually accepts you as you are...with no pre concieved notion of how you should be...

In other words, if a white person says their open minded and accept all people...what they really mean is their open minded and accept all other white people...

And the same with when a black person says that...and or a latin person and or a muslim...people tend to only accept and tolerate those within their onw 'realm'....

Not me...I'm different in that you could literally be a space alien...and as long as your behavior was honorable...we can have dinner together...
There's even a ton of prejudice that occurs within the gay community..infact the same prejudices that occur in the hetro society exist in the gay society...

I just wish someone would shock me and be different...actually have the capacity to truly love and accept all, without any pre concieved notions of look or appearance...

That's one reason I post photos of myself...cause it saves me heartacke down the road...if I don't post photos, people tend to think I'm European...and as such want to form relationships...and then find out later I'm not euro...and drop out of site...
So I'd rather then see a physical description of me up front, than to pretend to be my friend based on some phony pretense...
It saves me a lot of heartache down the road...
In other words my photos drive away all the phonies...the people I wouldnt want in my life regardless of what color or shade I was...
And with that, it's time to eat my liver and onions...
