CONFUSED SOCIETY.

one of the things that i promised myself earlier on in my life is that i will never listen and pay attention to society. the reason is that there is no other confused sense of direction other than this thing called society.society tends to not know what it wants,it is never solid, it will never be satisfied and it will never have enough.if i were to start looking at people the same way society does then i would not go anywhere considering society has two codes for everything.they think a man is a man when he beats his wife and they praise a gentleman for being man enough...talk about confused.
the thing we all have to learn is that society will always have something to say,and it is never nice. we can never be right by society we will always be on the wrong side one way or the other.society will never fail to give you a brand for what you do.you read to much "bookworm or geek",you don't read "airhead",you're thin "anorexic", you're a bit thick "hog",you're independent "miss independent",you depend on people "parasite/lazy" and many more....
society has its own code of thinking and considering its a whole group no unanimous decision is ever made.i look at the prejudices i may have grown up with that damaged my view of life in more than one way.i accumulated a good amount of negative world views which i lived with for quite a while,toed the line in a sense.the reality of the matter is the prejudices hold a little truth but they cannot be depended on.people are not who they are because of gender,race, their last name,where they were born or what they do.they are intricate patterns of being that represent diversity.you look at people and see their heart,who they are and learn their being.you look at yourself in the same way, no brands on you, its just you, your heart,your desires,the fabric of your being.
sift through the words society has said and see peoplw for who they are. perfect example is according to society most women like flowers and chocolate,i am a woman but i hate chocolates and flowers are not gifts i prefer.imagine if someone bought me those for my birthday?.....
i guess this explains why i have always wanted to be unique,stand on my own,to be different and why i always hate it when someone bundles me in a category such as "you know most women","people who go to that school","people who live in that area"...for crying out loud i think i am right when i say i am a human being named Faith and not people/women/east-lander/kikuyu/.those things contribute to my identity but they don't make me who i am!!
i want to let people be individuals and see them for them.no more categories,prejudice,pre-conceived ideas.i have just freed myself from society.... :-)

free yourself and others...
