Wealth, status, and power have become in our culture all too powerful symbols of happiness. When we see people who are rich, famous, or good-looking, we tend to assume that their lives are rewarding, even though all the evidence might point to their being miserable.

when our ears are closed from hearing the other side, we close ourselves off not just from their opinion but a whole world of experiences, memories and moments until we trap ourselves in an echo chamber of hatred. strive to understand where people come from. Empathize.

alone a human being, what makes one? memories, experiences, feelings may add up to one but other beings are there through every part of it. so we surround ourselves with people to fill the void, thinking that since we are social creatures the answer must lie within others.

I think that's generally healthy since ideas are exchanged and minds can be changed. when a disagreement is reduced to "mansplaining" even with no obvious indication of that, that's an attack on identity which deviates from the idea itself.

@father_mihai @vdugnist Haha this may just be what I needed to hear. I'm in my "build something meaningful/impactful/great phase" I'm kinda stubborn with some things so I'm still going to try to make something that I find meaningful but maybe it can be a mix of both. Thanks :)

@udaaslarkaa @aman_siddiqui1 Right, exactly that, it comes down to context. If someone used it to describe something it's obviously not racist. But more often than not, Desis use it in a racist manner against African Americans. Saying stuff like "Woh kallus toh dangerous hai" is clearly racist
