I say my blood is green

Whom do we call different? We call them different from us who do not think, do or perceive like we do.

Is it not better this way that all of are different in some way or the other? How would it be if, we all had same houses, are wearing the same clothes and talking about the same things, all the time?

So when somebody is actually different from the majority of us, why do we make a big deal out of it? Why is that one person made to alter his/her way and do what is socially thought to be correct?

Lets take a woman, who wants to adopt children rather than producing them. Socially not acceptable! Why? The lamest reason, how will the family blood be carried forward. What I don’t understand is, what are they going to do with the blood? It’s not going to reap food to eat! Rather I think it adopting children will put a stop to genetically transferable diseases.

Another reason could be, the married couple will miss out on the beautiful nine months of pregnancy. Well, I personally don’t know how beautiful they would be but if a woman is keen on adopting, she knows what she might miss or maybe she feels fortunate.
A better side can be looked upon. A couple is fortunate enough to adopt and bring up children who are for some reason abandoned. You are adding a reason to your being. And children are the same! They grow up in the way their parents mould them. A woman might have more pleasure in this than a fetus in the belly! How much could it harm? At the most bruise an ego, hear a few unexpected or it may help save you a beggar or a prostitute from making!

The point is, if some acts out of the box lets give them space. It’s like broadening your horizon. It’s like growing up and learning to accept people they way they are.
There are many examples like this one, single parenting could be a major one. There are thousands in are daily lives, thousands that we walk upon…but are crushed self-respects, dreams or paths to others.

Only humans in all living beings due to erect spines have their brains to reason or logic. Thus spiritually are superior beings. Also humans due to superior brain functions have the luxury of science. With all due respect to egos and humility, I suggest that we all take a step away from egoism to humanism, broaden our horizons and shed rigidity.
