among my most favorite quotes is "life gives you whatever you ask for", not really sure who said it first, but it really hit home and stayed there.
today, an article reads the title above "why keep quiet??" which is something i've to agree with. so many times, so many people don't dare to raise their voices in public, in a crowd, among friends even with family and relatives. excuses such as patient is golden is used and trying to make peace and tolerance is used. to me, all are utter bullshit.
let's talk about something who do everyday, eating. if we hate what we are eating, then don't eat it, and make sure it is not served to you ever again. but still we have to respect others and accept that a man's meat is another's poison. we don't have to agree or accept what people do, eat or believe, hack we can disagree and hate it; but we can respect them for what they do, like or believe in as who they are. hence you may hate the man but you may love his work. in this case more literally speaking.
politeness is just a morality line set by individual, its optimistic and general, never absolute. which is the same for rudeness. if it is not forbidden by law or ethics, why submit ourselves into doing something we don't like and unnecessary? quote from what happens in Vegas "i rather stay at home and do nothing, then do something i hate to begin with" (or something like that...).
something to think about: individuality and personal rights
