So which brings me to this,
Lately I have been really frustrated with the people of this world. Lack of respect for others and lack of respect for themselves. I don't understand the concept. There's a particular person that i know (not by choice) that is raciest against a nationality that I am. Does it bother me? You better believe it! Do I let it get to me? I try not to. Simply because I understand that were all entitled to our own opinions and I respect that. Normally when this person is speaking out about what they "believe" in, its not directed towards me, I just so happen to be around to hear it. It really made me sick to hear the words that were coming out of there mouth, So one day i decided that I had enough. I went up to that person and gave them a mouthful of MY opinions. Not to my surprise, after hearing what I had to say that person was speechless. Due to their lack of knowledge which I knew they lacked a lot of, they had nothing in their defense. Everything they were trying to say back to me wasn't making any sense and I could tell they were nervous because they kept repeating themselves and stuttering over there words. In the end, they were the ones who looked like the idiot, Not the mexican ;]
I didn't write about this experience to sound like some bad @$$.
I just want you to understand that it is VERY important to stand up for what you believe in.
No matter what it is, What you believe in is apart of you. But don't put shame to what you believe in, remember it reflects upon what kind of person you are. I love people who have opinions, But I do think sometimes its unnecessary to go around shoving it down peoples throats. Have respect towards others and yourself.
