Choices, people make them everyday, affecting they're lives in many ways. Through these choices, we as individuals change our lifestyles at some point to go hand in hand with our choices. This is no different with what we love and what we hate; it's a choice we make in our lifetime at one point or another.
One thing I was taught when my parents brought me up in life was to be tolerant to other people's beliefs and choices, to be open-minded and not start to put down anything that's different from the rest. Time and time again in life, this happens, and it saddens me to see this, more especially to the people I know. Whether it be someone becoming a vegetarian, or something else like someone liking something a lot while others believe its wrong is just horrible in my opinion, how can we start thinking about being tolerant if other people brings others down for things like that.
One thing some people don't seem to realize is that some choices people make in their lives are dear to them, and they need them. For me, it’s making friends on the internet and doing all I can to be of aid to them when they’re feeling down. Whether it’s a problem big or small, I stand by them and hear them out. This, in turn, has opened my eyes about a career choice, heading into Psychology to further enhance my ability to help others. Everyone's got different tastes in life, some like golf, some like reading, and we, as individuals, cannot live without our "favourites" so to speak. I remember when I was pulling through hard times, especially in my college year, it was taking a toll on me and I was pretty down with my studies, yet being there for others when they needed it has made me forget my sorrows and difficulties many a times and me, being in a better mood, had a much easier time at school than I could've had. It has enabled me to have a better focus on what my career could be too. Having thought it over, isn't it silly to put someone down because of that, because of his or her choice?
Of course, don't get me wrong, not every choice people make is a good one, but my ideology behind it is that if it's within the society standards and civil law of course, I'm not saying that if people think killing is their "favourite" then they should do it. There has to be a limit somewhere, but when push comes to shove, if it doesn't hurt you at all, why hinder someone for what they like? People should just stop whatever they're doing, and ask themselves that sometimes, it avoids making others feel uncomfortable, feel awful, feel rejected. Wouldn’t this feeling they’d feel, in turn, limit their abilities to perform in life? All in all, I believe it is safe to say that people should be more conscious about others’ needs, thus avoiding this situation.
...
Hope you enjoyed.
