childhood and appearance


So you can blame your parents, surroundings, experiences, tradition etc for how you have turned out and how you are today, but you must blame yourself to a certain extent. Why didn't you question things or find out for yourself? Knowledge is the key to understanding and there are plenty of books in the library and shops about the different subjects you want to find out about. How can you judge without the facts, in court they don't, well no should you.

People may say that you are thick. Teachers may say you are stupid and you do not stand a chance but are they correct? Did you get other teachers or people's opinions? Do you know for yourself?

Like I was saying, just because we have certain physical features like we are Chinese looking, it does not mean that we can speak Chinese or know the tradition. That's why we get Chinese looking people who speak French, Asians that speak Spanish and not an Asian language, black people who speak people who speak French, German or Jewish and know no other language. A black person could be born in China, according to their birth they are Chinese.
could be born in Africa, that makes them African.

A Chinese looking person could be born in Spain, according to their birth they are Spanish. This proves just how nothing is what it seems. Looks fool people so it is not wise to judge by them. When you judge typically then you are stereotyping people. I know that most of us do this but it is something we must try to unlearn. It causes much ignorance and prejudice.
