Friend or Foe?

=], first blog? woooo go me!

well, someone told me i should start a blog and just write whatever...and i want more practice on writing stuff for english...so yeahh.

here goes:
I've found out recently that a lot of people that i would not expect to have blogs and such, (like those people who don't talk much at school, outings or whatnot) tend to write/say so much stuff that they would otherwise not tell anyone about. They're probably like thinking who the fck would care if i told them this or sound like the "imgayifitellthistoppl" type of person. In fact, i'm thinking i sound like this right now U___U haha (no homo). Anyway, i was thinking how all these people who come in the world and know how to act/be the way they are. Like are we born as we are or do we make ourselves? (so, if i take some crazy cunt from a psychiatric institution and wipe his memory, make him young again, will he turn out to be that crazy cunt again?). Then i thought nahh its obviously cause they were brought up like that and they got influenced by the people around them.

So what if we aren't like the way we are now? Lets say we turned out to be someone that you would never thought you would be or someone that you wouldn't get along with at the moment. What if you were even born as another ethnicity? Okay, so if you were born as a black/white/leb/asian etc. , what would you do? You would probably think that you'll hate to be that person and wouldn't want to be made out like that, right? You would think that the ethnicity you are now is better than the rest. Like, if you were an asian, like me, you would think "Fuck that i dont wanna be a black/white/leb." But then wouldn't you think that if you were black/white/leb, but instead "Fuck that i dont wanna be asian" (LOL did that even make sense? dont think it came out right...). So then i thought, "Wait, why exactly do i hate those guys again? (i dont hate black/white/leb ppl btw, but like a sorta less positive vibe than if they were an asian LOL? no racial.)" and i start thinking of all their bad qualities. Of these bad qualities, most of them were from other peoples perspective rather than my own. Then im like waitt, what about their perspective of the type of person i am? Like...hmm...i cant think of a good example...errr...yeaa...okay so lets go on to something simple like:

Black Guy + White Guy: White Guy dislikes Black Guy and vice-versa. (not being racist btw <.<) Me: So, White Guy why dont you like Black Guy?
White: He's black, he steals shit, he lies, he's dimwitted, he's loud, he's dirty. What's not to hate?
Me: So, Black Guy why dont you like White Guy?
Black: He's white, he thinks he's the best, he's racist, he's self-involved. What's not to hate?
Me: Okay ty b/w. (no racial)

waiittt, aren't all these just stereotypes people made up by others? How can you just judge others based on other peoples opinions? They probably did the same and followed someone elses judgement before them. Who exactly made these types of judgements and passed on their opinions to others? Probably some guy with alot of power or someone you respect i suppose. They can easily say something and make us believe it right? Why do we believe the things these elitists tell us? Hmm i need to give you an example on that one...like when we watch the news on tv or listen to the media talk on about someone/something. How do we know stuff like that is true or not? When we see something, we instantly form opinions on it and give value judgments. When other people start agreeing, more and more will follow even though it may not be based on anything factual. So its just like go with the crowd yeah? Do we still follow it if we think its a bit far-fetched? This happens alot. Even i can think of many things like this that i can relate to.

An example is when one of my friends started saying "Oh, this guy is a dickhead, he did this and this..." and my friends all say "Yeah..."and i also reply "Yeah..." but im actually thinking "Huh? That guys my friend...i never seen him do that...did he really do that?" So do i start avoiding the "dickhead" who was, just minutes before, my friend?...Well you can only ask yourself really. So then i asked myself "I never really saw him/her do this to me...maybe he (my friend telling me about the other friend) did something to aggravate this. Maybe i'm only hearing one side of the story?" I'll just stick to what it was and see what happens...observe for myself...(Why is it when someone hates someone else they expect you to do the same? They like tell everyone about it and basically persuade them to stop being the other persons friend...and the scary thing is that it works.)

Human nature i guess? All part of fitting in? Or they dont want to learn anything else that may change their opinion on something they believe to be true or were told to be as true. They prefer to take the easy path of believing what those around them believe, rather than question everything and learn all there is to learn...observe for themselves and form their own opinions.

Its easier to let the newsreader tell you or your friends to tell you about things and define it for you. It takes time and energy to observe and form opinions about things yourself. So is this why the majority of people allow others to define things for them, because they are too lazy to figure out the truth on their own? Or do these people just want to fit in so they shut up, listen and agree?
