Blog si Feminis

A good friend just said to me, "I don’t think there is an absolute right in this life."

I was surprised to hear that wise opinion. After some time, I commented, "Yup. I agree with you. From the books I have read, articles I have read, I come to the conclusion that it all started from our interpretation of some things. When we come to one interpretation, we cannot avoid using what is stored in our brain, mind, what has been taught to us, what has been ‘indoctrinated’ to us, and all things we have undergone and experienced in our life."

One example. Our society believes that heterosexuality is the only normal sexuality. Since we were a kid, our parents, teachers, neighbors have given us examples and ‘doctrin’ that the normal sexuality is heterosexuality. Media strengthens this incessantly. We believe in it. We agree with it. And we then want to be considered as normal people, so we grow up as a hetero. And we easily judge other people who are homosexual abnormal, sinful coz they are against destiny.

Now, try to imagine if we live in society where the people believe that homosexuality is the only normal sexuality. We are ‘taught’, ‘indoctrinated’ that homosexuality is the only accepted and gifted sexuality. We will easily consider people whose sexual orientation is heterosexual as abnormal people.

Live your own life with your own principle. Make sure that you live comfortably, without feeling frightened that your principle is wrong. And be confident with it. One more important thing, though, don’t harm other people. They deserve exactly the same comfort, happiness, and freedom as you do.

P.S: My own advice for myself.
