We've been a lot of talk about discrimination so I decided to think for a while about it. In fact, I came to some conclusions that you may or may not agree.
First, I realized that, somehow, every single one of us might discriminate someone; and if we don’t, lucky us because it means that we’ve never felt threatened about anyone.
So, if we just discriminate when we feel threatened, we can assume that discrimination was one “polite”, “civilized”, human way that mankind found to substitute their animal instincts.
We are all nothing but animals – that’s the truth. We born, we live, we grow, we die; and that’s it! So it’s normal that we have the same instincts, the same need of survival that any other animal.
So, when cats get mad, they spine themselves, saying like “I’m feeling threatened by you, let’s go fight so I can have a chance to beat you!”. Humans are way more subtle and, as they don’t like to show the World their fears, they discriminate, but just because it is just one way to say “yes, you might be better than me, but I’ll make you think that you suck, so perhaps I can convince you!”. And then, if the person that discriminates has influence in some others, as people tend to stereotype and create dogmatic ideas, that discrimination usually passes from generation to generation; and then we came to one point when people discriminate because someone told them that it was the right thing.
Mankind is just like that: we are animals, but cynics. And we probably should became more animals and let behind all our beautiful dresses of sake politeness and be more honest. Because inside each and every one of us, no matter the color, religion believes, ideas, values, we are all made of the very same things: we all might succeed, we all might lose, we all might fight and we all might dislike this or that; we all might criticize, we all might kill, we all might get killed, we all might suffer, we all might be lucky, we all might be unfaithful, but, what we’ll, for certain, do is to try to fulfill our lives and be happy, and no one has the right to deny that.
