Where does society get off judging its members? Who pioneered these unwritten laws and embedded it deep within the hearts of any one society? Why is it when a young woman walks into a restaurant holding hands with an older looking gentleman, they are both stared at as though they just committed a cardinal sin? Why must society assume that the man is obviously married with ten children waiting for him at home, and here he is frolicking with someone so much younger than him? Why must people assume the worst? Have we lost complete faith in humanity that we must always assume the worst first?
So many questions and yet we have no answers. Little does society realize it, but they play a pivotal role in shaping the community. When such a huge role is being entrusted onto society, we must realize that it is our responsibility to make the world a better place and not put out so much hate and criticism in the world. What appears to be traditional and conventional is not always the best thing. How many marriages falter even when the husband and wife are of the same age, have good careers, a healthy bank account, a big home in a great neighborhood, imported cars and seemingly happy children? These are all superficial. It's all on the surface. If they have all that and they are truly happy, good for them. But that is not the measure to judge all happy marriages. Society needs to be taught that they should not dwell so much about what's on the surface. Age, physical appearance, wealth...these are not what makes a happy marriage. A book should never be judged by its cover. If it is then we would have lost thousands of great masterpieces through the passage of time.
Let's give humanity a chance to flourish. Let's give hope a chance to blossom. We have become so quick to judge and dismiss things that we do not realize that perhaps the things that we so cavalierly dismiss are actually what's true and pure and good. Greatness comes in different shapes and sizes. All it takes is for us to get off our high horses and realize that God made us equal. Perhaps if society decides to become more accepting and less judgmental, perhaps then we will actually see more good in the community.
Love is all around, it is everywhere and it does not discriminate. Let's salvage whatever's left of it before it dies in our hands. We are the legacy of our forefathers, of our ancestors who so spiritedly fought for their freedom and for ours. Let us not become slaves of our mindset and mentality. We owe it to our children to make the world a better place. A place of love and hope.
