It's common in our
society to comment on people, the way they look, the way they dress, the
way they talk. I'm sure most of you who're reading this can relate to
this, because all of us have said "what a bitch" "God! Look at the way
she dresses" "oh my God! He looks so gay!" at some point in our lives.
Or something related to that. We've also commented on their looks,
something people really can't control, because it's Allah, who makes the
faces.
So why the labels? Why is someone labelled pretty, and someone oh-so-ugly? Why is one guy hot, and another one gay? Why is one girl awesome, and another a slut? Have we never thought about how they must feel when they hear such things being said about them? Or rather, how would we feel if someone labelled us as a bitch, or a whore, or gay, or just plain ugly? Why is it that we need to label people, to separate the "pretty" from the "ugly" so that we can hang around with the more popular ones, just for show-off? Why is it that we make so much fun of our fat friends, that they resort to bulimia and anorexia? Why is it that we keep on telling a person he's emo, that he goes home and actually cuts himself to prove he's emo? Why is it, that we need to talk about people, and their appearances, just for gossip, or to make fun of them? Who are we to judge them? I mean, I know, I,myself, have commented on a lot of people, but now that I think about it, what's so right in it? We are noone to judge anyone. On what they wear, on what they believe and on what they choose to do with their lives. It's their life, not ours. What gives us the right to judge their lives. Or rather, who gives anyone this right to judge people when they don't know the reasons for what the others person sayings and actions. Who gives anyone this right to talk shit about people, not thinking even for a second that they have a heart too, and they feel too? Is it fair to them? Put yourselves in their shoes, the ones who're labelled as sluts, and gays, and the losers of our society, the fat ones, the emo ones, whoever we make fun of.. Put yourself in their shoes and think of how it would feel if you were being taunted, you were being made fun of, you were being mocked. And then think of how horrible they might actually feel.
Think about it. Think about how it must feel :)
