Night owl and Discrimination?

Dunno why lately, i've gotten sleepy SO early at night, like, i got sleepy at 10 or something. last time, i didnt even yawn at 2-3 am (so to speak XD). maybe i was just too used to bintangor's life style. we just didnt have much to do we went to bed so early and woke up so late in the morning XD.

anyways, i'd like to voice out something on stereotyping and discrimination. i really hate those things. and yet we stereotype and discriminate and being disrespectful towards others. like our psychiatrist said, "there's no such thing as "fair" in this world. otherwise, everyone would be the same." uh..thats deep, doc, dunno if i can dive that far XD.

the subject is quite sensitive, its just that i cant turn blind/deaf towards this thing. to make both sides happy..VERY tough. this side said, how could you not think of this being offensive to us. and the other said, how could you not understand that this is our belief. so both sides are quite not understanding to each other. im putting myself in shoes of both sides, and i find its hard to compromise, i think. this is just my opinion.

okay, so, tomorrow's the eid al-adha, when the Muslims sacrifice some cattle and the meat is given to the poor. and to some vegan, particularly indians here, some of them are my friends, they're quite offended by this tradition as in their religion cows are the sacred animal. especially when they saw the cows are being tied up in front of our apartment blocks.

true, the Muslims are the majority, but doesnt mean we can just ignore other's belief and being disrespectful. maybe they should have placed the cows in somewhere not so public? though, i know its kinda hard to hide those huge cows.

like, its a fact that animals are being slaughtered for food every single day. but it doesnt mean like, "heck, thousands of animals are being slaughtered already, being vegans wont change anything" and doesnt mean you should slaughter those animals in front of vegans. being respectful to each others beliefs is very important for a harmony unity life thing. also, if like, you're being insensitive/disrespectful towards others, how would you feel if they do the same discrimination to you? it wouldnt be good, ne? and later, it would lead to more serious complications like arguments, being enemies, hatred and those would lead to non-unity (okay, its so late, my brain cant think of the appropriate word XD).

so yeah, i know this is a sensitive issue. im just voicing out my opinions, and the point is, we've GOT to be more sensitive towards other people. so, no offense to both sides. i didnt mean to step on any toes, but if i did, im really sorry!
