What defines a person in someone elses or even his or her own eyes?
Is it their nature, their abilities, their lack of abilities?
Gee, Bobby there sure is a good athlete.
Is it their words or lack thereof?
She is the quiet type, ya know.
It is their actions or their inaction?
Man, he is so lazy.
Is it their hobbies, interests, secrets, their good looks?
What makes a person unique or similar to others in their own eyes?
What make them stand out in the eyes of others?
In truth, are we not all the same, all saying we are different because we care or dont care or fail to care?
Or do we think we are better than most because we dont generalize others into small neat and very stereotypical little groups.
How am I any different than the Frat Brother who pigeonholes all non-Greek members into the category loser, when I do the exact same thing to him?
How are you more right than the Nazi before you?
You might not hate or act on your views of others, but those views, that I-am-better-than-most-because-I did-or-do the following: Went to {Insert expensive college here}, worship {Insert whatever deitys name here}, fucked {famous persons name here}, etc; it puts you in the same league as those that do act. Why? Because once those thoughts are allowed to exist, the line between acting and not is just too easy to cross.
So, again, are you more in the right for just thinking this than acting on it?
You are not. Not really, anyway.
