I heard a story yesterday about a girl who played a nasty trick on her girlfriend.
This Cruella told her friend that a boy she knew, was interested in her and infact had been checking her out.
The unsuspecting friend, upon next seeing the boy in question, approached him and mentioned what her mean friend had told her.
"My friend said you think I am cute"
The boy in question retorted - "Your friend lied" and walked away.
See he is self-proclaimed fattist. And Cruella knew that.
Cruella should hang her disgusting head in shame, that she would think it acceptable to expose another woman, let alone her girlfriend, to such embarrasment, is sick and abhorrent and leaves me with a feeling of repugnance and loathing.
If she thinks she is funny, she is not. She is gross and a bully.
12 year old Elliott Fletcher was stabbed to death this week in a playgroud by a fellow 13 year old student, a reported victim of bullying
His only logical defence in his 13 year old mind was to stab Elliott?
An example of the flip side?
The front page of today's Melbourne Herald Sun shows images of Clinton Rintoull and Dylan Sabatino who fatally bashed Sudanese Liep Gony more than 15 times with a metal pole and then left him to die on a nature strip.
The teenagers didn't know Gony but one was heard moments before hand saying "I'll guess I'll go and take my anger out on some niggers"
Even more bullying examples?
There was an episode of the Biggest Loser last week where one of the contestants was picked on as a kid by a gang of older boys.
They beat Phil, the contestant, so bad that he went blind, suffered self-esteem issues for the rest of his life thus far and consquently was overweight and miserable.
Someone, watching the show with me, remarked that parents should teach their kids to not be fat so that they were not bullied.
Well, why don't parents teach their kids to be accepting and tolerant of everyone. All shapes, sizes and colours.
Would that not make more sense?
We should hang our heads in shame.
Every one of us that mocked someone who was overweight, Indian or had red hair.
Think it doesn't matter because you haven't killed anyone??
By either doing so yourself or standing by and watching, as people commence tirades about anyone that is different, aren't we encouraging people like Elliott's & Liep's killers. Infact aren't we breeding them? If we are their role models? And all they hear is anger and hatred for anyone who is different from us?
Isn't this is relationship blog I hear you ask?
Truth is, if you are not emotionally evolved enough to show empathy towards other people at all times, then you cannot ever expect to have satisfying and honest personal relationships.
Because how can you expect someone to truly love you, if you cannot truly love and accept others. All others.
For the rest of the day, I set you an excercise: put everyone else but yourself first. Show tolerance, acceptance and just good manners towards every other person you see.
Despite the colour, shape, size or race of them.
I remain disgusted.
