First

It took me a while to finally decide what to write about, seeing as it would be my first post on my blog. Should it be about the upcoming celebrations ( Christmas and Newyear), or just something ordinary with a little humour. Well I finally decided, this is gonna be about us, humans, and our little perks, so here goes nothing.
This is about human hypocrisy. Hypocritical things we are a part of everyday but refuse to aknowledge, but first off lets go a tad personal. To our selves, we trick and decieve subconciously and are never the wiser for it. We say we want on thing yet go on to express the opposite. Let me break it down a bit.
Item: The world likes to categorize among itself whether by colour, sexual orientation, financial status, educational background etc and we always cry out against it. The blacks and other coloured races complain that the white community treats them bad but behind the scenes we treat these whites like they are demigods, allowing ourselves to be treated in seriously condescending manners.
Item: On the opposite side, the white community says that it tries to eradicate all traces of race discriminations and that they will treat their coloured brothers as equals, suggesting that it is a priviledge being nicely extended to the Coloured community, In the same breath offeriing to change but still in the trenchpit.
Item: A financially challenged individual looks at, with envy, the well-to-do in society. Now dont get me wrong, I ttotally sympathiize with their plights and all but my point is that while they go on complaining about their status and the rest, I've rarely ever heard any poor individual say that he was trying to make things better. Like the street beggers, no matter how much they are given in a day, you will always meet them on the road the next day. They go on about how the government and wealthy of society should help them but reality check, it doesnt do any good. Give these guys money to start up a business and more times than not, they squander it and are back at the begging post in days.
Item: Now this is an all time favorite. We all want the world to be a better place but how many of us are willing to change our ways in order to make it happen. Government officials spew flat out lies about how they want to combat corruption and other vices but they steal funds and horde up millions.
On paper and Tv its all about peace and unity but reality check: its a dog eat dog world, and no one is ready to change it because the current systems work for everyone one way or another. I know I migght sound cynical but believe me, its the honest truth.
