Just Thoughts

I'm not sure what to write today, so I decided to put some random thoughts which I supposedly post in my FB status. I changed my mind.


1. Can we just blend in our society and not create a new one within it? I hate secluding myself from the rest of the world when, in fact, we're part of it. There's nothing that we can do unless we conglomerate into one island, build our own country and fuck each other just like what we all think every second of the day. Let's stop acting like we're being discriminated all the time. We are the reasons why we're being banished by a lot of anti-homosexuals and homophobics. Some say that in time, the society will accept us. I say the society will only accept us if we accept the reality that we're not different from everyone else and that we follow the norms.


2. Maybe, the reason why gays can't be accepted wholly because they are defying the moral standards of the society. People like loud, successful and principled gays but not sex-addict ones. Sex plays a vital role in everyone's life and abuse of it is viewed as immoral. In the first place, sex is created basically for reproduction purposes only. It is formulated as very "delicious", delightful and appealing to encourage everyone to reproduce so as to preserve the species. And now, gays are giving a new and, somehow, unacceptable meaning to it- pleasure and undivine.


3. We can only give so much reason and debate about something for so long. In the end, it's what we believe that will eventually get into us. We will all go back to the basic moral fiber of our society and however we try to bend the truth and justify every turn of events, it's us we're accountable for. We transformed sex into something emotional, physical and a form of exercise because we're in denial of the fact that we're breaking the rules, our own beliefs and that of our society as a whole.


4. Yes, it is true that not only the homosexuals are responsible for the global HIV pandemic but that doesn't change anything. Actually, it didn't change most of us because the virus is still spreading the speed of light. I'm not questioning those who are infected or those who initiated the spread. I'm questioning everyone of us who carelessly and continuously practicing sex without thinking of any responsibility. When are we gonna take responsibility and set aside the itchiness we feel between our thighs? When are we gonna wake up? When all of us are already infected and slowly dying? Let us try to think. And please don't mistake my take on this as discrimination to those positives because I, myself, don't know if I have the virus in my system. I just think that we should act what's right. I'm acting it now for four months already and will continue until I have the emotional strength to get tested.


5. It's always hard to get respect when you're forcing anyone. Respect is the kind of gift no one is willing to give easily. It's the only thing a person can gain in no other way but proof of respect. Respect to thy self and to others. Respect is the one thing that a lot of homosexuals neglect to gain because they are devoured by their pride, ego and self-love.


I do not wish to aggravate anyone through these insights. Rather, I encourage everyone to think about it. Let it sink into your gray matter and let us hope it hit the right notes in you. The above opinions have been held into my mind for so long because I know it might offend a lot of people like me. I'm not saying I'm living up to those opinions but I'm trying. I own the responsibility for whatever these opinions may cause and I will try to answer every question be thrown on me. However, spare me from defending my own thoughts for I have nothing of purpose but mere understanding of the complexity of our kind.


I, also, am trying to find ways on how we're going to make everyone understand what we really are. Those who came before us have already succeeded in lifting our tag as mentally sick. Our task, now, is to make everyone else accept that we're not different. And everyone is responsible of making it come true. Unless you only think and take care of your own happiness, which is understandable in any way possible.


In conclusion, I would like to leave a note that says:
"The moment we stop aspiring for the greater good is the same moment that we lose our humanity, thus leaving us as mere homosexuals." -GB, Aug 23, 2010
