So yesterday i was talking to my sister and we started talking about intolerance.
She suggested that i should write my thoughts about it and i said why not!
I started thinking about how intolerant we have become or have we?
I feel we have become intolerant of things which don't matter much which is okay. Just because someone else has bigger problems that does not invalidate your's and one should be able to voice their opinions.
BUT the thing is in all this we are actually becoming more tolerant.
MORE tolerant of corruption,inequality,distinction on the basis of caste,creed and religion.Which is not exactly a good thing we as members of this society are so focused on the little things that we are forgetting about more important issues.
I am not saying that we don't think about it or feel bad about it but in the end we give up and say that's how it is,it has been and it'll be and what can i do no one is going to listen to me and think that i am the only one who feels like this and i am alone
BUT ARE WE REALLY???
NO,I don't think so.i think we are trying to bring change where it's easy but not where it is needed and matters...
We are becoming intolerant of people not respecting others personal space but not of misogyny,we are intolerant of people reading our texts but not of LGBTQ group not being allowed to live a normal life,we are intolerant of someone eating a cow but not of someone honour killing their own child.
so yeah i am intolerant of our intolerance of things which are not as important
and feel free to be intolerant of my intolerance of intolerance ;)
