Sadly, that's human nature. Quite honestly, I'm not sure if we as a society would be able to make any of the strides we make without the ability to "perceive" what we believe about others. Yes, this means good and bad - but if we weren't able to decide what we thought about someone within the so many seconds of meeting others, we would be mired in uncertainty.

Is this fair? Probably not. After all, you can't exactly give someone a fair shot just from looking at them and interacting with them for under a minute. But if we were forced to interact with others until we actually got a good sense of who they were all the time, we wouldn't have time for all the other stuff...like interacting with people who actually mattered.

I try my hardest not to judge people based upon their appearance - be that weight or whatever else it happens to be - but I'm human. And things don't always happen the way I want them to go. I've spoken before I've thought. I'm insulted people when I shouldn't have. And it's happened to me too. We're all works in progress. And maybe I should say "screw you all, I'm leaving my body the way it is"...but maybe I can also really ask myself if I'm happy that way.

I learned very quickly that thick skin can only take you so far - eventually someone will say something that cuts much deeper than you are prepared for. So what you need to ask yourself is whether you can live with that or not. And if you can, then be who you are and eff everyone else. If you can't...well...that's your decision what to do from that point.

Now back to your regularly scheduled discussion on where else I can spread controversy.
