Musings

There are many types of people in this world. Some are beautiful, some are smart, some are atheletic, some are rich and some, just have it all. Those people with innate talent have it easier in life, because like bees to honey, these beings attract success and popularity. Some human beings, having tasted the sweetness of success and apparent adulation of fellow human beings around them feel they are a little more worthy than others, and thus have a right to judge them.
But we forget that we are all, homo sapiens, with flaws and virtues, fallible to errors and vulnerable to pain.
We all come into this world, naked and crying and we go into the light with nothing on our backs.
So what gives a person the right to cast the stone of disapproval when he himself is equally fallible to the same mortal fear, mistakes and hurt?

Some would argue that everyone's entitled to their own opinions and freedom of speech and expression makes the world a much more interesting place while keeping oppresion at bay.

But what good does it do when careless remarks breed resentment, cause hurt and fracture relationships?

You can point your finger in any direction you want, just stop when you poke and blind your neighbour's eyes.
Your right to flail your arms stop when you cause hurt to another person's body.
That's my take on it. Then again, what do I know? I'm a human bean after all.
