It's Sad
I was just going through the AIDS timeline on Avert.com when I came across something that happened in South Africa to a woman named Gugu Dlamini who was an AIDS activist and who was beaten to death by her neighbors after she revealed that she was HIV-positive. I don't understand how someone could have hate on that level. I don't get how people can just kill someone simply because they are sick or different from them. It goes back to the KKK just because God made everyone different from birth doesn't make anyone better than anyone else. When we have love for everyone regardless of our differences that's when the world becomes a better place, not when we isolate, quarantine, or even kill someone for not being like the majority.

We don't do very well as a world when it comes to differences. Look at how countries with different religions fight each other. I want to scream out Stop fools, but of course they won't. I am a firm believer that if someone came from another world, we would put them under a glass jar and pick them apart to see what makes them tick. You will be amazed at what horrors humans can do to each other.
ReplyDeleteso true I went to see district 9 with some friends the other day and I think it's pretty accurate on how we treat different things. It doesn't matter that everyone feels the same feelings as everyone else, hurt, love, pain, joy but I think we justify torture by saying its to better understand those who are different.
