Acceptance

There is a high percentage of people that still have their brains locked to the stone-age way of thinking. They need to recognize that our world is changing, people in the same countries but are from completely different backgrounds, personalities, races..etc. Some people are prejudice against certain races just because of something that happened to them once upon a time. No, that is not an excuse.


We watch shows that talk about this topic over and over again, but we do not realize the seriousness of this issue, it's not just "another problem", people are beings targeted for being from a certain race or nationality. Why should those people be blamed for something that they didn't even do but others from the same nationality did? They're not the ones to blame and that is NOT the way it should be handled.


What's even worse is that we see prejudice right here among us, in this tiny country. People seek perfection in every way, but that does not mean you should treat someone else like shit because they come from a certain family or a certain part of the country. What's even WORSE than that is that parents are the ones who implant those ideas in their children's minds, no, that's not right AT ALL.
I'm not saying you are obligated to accept and love everyone, but you don't need to show your hatred towards people just because you feel like it.
Think about it this way, someone else might treat you the same way you're treating the ones you "hate". What goes around comes around, even Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said
 أن تحب للناس ما تحب لنفسك, و تكره لهم ما تكره لنفسك, و أن تقول خيرا أو تصمت
Keep that in mind, before doing/saying something stupid "just because",remember that karma will get you back. After all, we're all human, made of mud, no one has a reason to look down on any one else.
