If you are not accepted by the world

I once heard a saying, the world is so big, there will be a place for you. But after slowly getting in touch with the world, I discovered that the facts are not necessarily so. A person cannot leave his family, homeland, and country after all. At least, in his childhood and adolescence, he could not refuse the influence of the overall social environment.

So when a person is inconsistent with the mainstream in a certain aspect, and he is unable to choose or actively chooses, the contradiction between individual differences and the overall environment will profoundly affect a person or even a family.

The so-called marginal groups are slowly co-existing while constantly challenging traditional concepts. The premise is that tradition is not rude and simply vetoed. Just like the environment in which Hanna grew up, they will be beaten up just because of their lesbian status. Now, what is the difference between this and racial discrimination and clan hierarchy. On the one hand, people call for freedom and democracy, and on the other hand, they wantonly and naturally ravage the rights of a few people. They dare to ask what is the highest human rights and the people first.

When you find that you are incompatible with the whole world, you can only helplessly accept the difference and change yourself. Perhaps this is the answer of most people, but the value of the individual always seems to be determined by the externalization label.

Hannah, as a talk show actor, is undoubtedly very good. Her body language, facial expressions, just the right pauses and tone fluctuations make people hilarious. In an hour, I think she has really managed the rhythm, the first half Duan buried clues about art history and the station chatting, and Chubu began to intervene in dialogue with his mother and self-reflection. Several times he announced that he would withdraw from the comedy circle. Each time, he cleverly changed into a more relaxed topic, until he talked about Picasso. The topic, slowly eliciting your own arguments, deep, sometimes, you will always be impressed by the thoughts and speech of others, Hanna really shocked me. She deeply feels the disagreement of social concepts and the pain she has encountered. She is indeed angry, but she deeply understands that simply venting is not helpful, and differences always exist objectively. This is the general environment, but her own value will not be denied. She can only define herself, and she will speak for it. A person who can face the difference squarely after encountering huge injustice will generate tremendous energy, which is an important driving force for social development.

I have always believed that calling for women's rights is worse than calling for human rights. Some differences are objective. Instead of focusing on differences, it is better to focus on common rights. As for marginalized groups, they should never be treated in a mere rude manner. Don’t talk about the reproduction of venereal diseases. Human beings have developed to the present. If even population reproduction and disease prevention have to worry about them and regard them as the most important task, then all the concepts of rule of law, democracy and communism It's all bullshit. Human rights first lies in respecting individual differentiation. If there is no way for everyone to live on the same land with dignity and equality, humans are nothing more than walking animals in the cloak of civilization.

Sometimes it’s too easy for people to attribute a certain problem to something different from self-awareness. Victims’ remarks are nothing more than people’s sense of self-protection. As long as I do these things, I won’t have any problems, so it’s the same. When people find that there are maverick groups in society, they always worry about affecting themselves, and multi-justice encourages criticism and even persecution of marginalized groups.

Arrogance always appears inadvertently, and you are always stubborn.
