Sometimes people try their best to put you down, but truth is, I can't even be bothered.
Stop trying to be righteous with all the shooting down of people. IQ and ability can get you all the way up to the top, but it takes EQ to keep you there.
While I say this, I know that I've been the same person before. I label people and I love to gossip as everyone else does, but I would never think that I'm better because I give people all these labels. I'm acutely aware of my flaws and I try my best to correct them, but I can't say the same for many whom I have met.
It's only funny that someone insults others of certain traits when he/she does not realise that he/she possesses the exact same traits.
And for the recipients of all these negative and untrue remarks -- enjoy the attention and don't give up your principles. What others say should not make you depressed, let alone make you give up what you truly believe in - provided your beliefs are good and sound. Don't conform to the norm because the world needs a great variety of perspectives to keep it a creative and ever-changing home to intelligent human beings and our fellow animal friends (and the greens, of course). And that is why I believe that we all have the right to debate our point to give rise to a good conclusion. You don't just give up on your beliefs because we should have a "peaceful" world. Peace does not come with excessive tolerance and not speaking up. Peace comes with the ability to convey your point and the acceptance of others' points. The process may not be smooth but in the end, only with good debates will we get the best solutions and the best conclusions.
Just some thoughts on Easter Sunday (I'm cooped up at home to finish my work :().
