Pressure!!
I like to begin my blogs as if I am in the middle of a conversation. So with that being said…
I’m sitting here thinking about all the pressure that comes with life, and how our society today creates pressure. You have to live in a certain neighborhood before you can get any credibility with certain people; or you have to drive a certain car. In some cases you have to look a certain way!! Shouldn’t we just see people for who they are and maybe... oh I don’t know... see if they can offer anything without concerning ourselves with houses, cars or looks.
There are a lot of talented people out there just wanting to find the right opportunity. It seems to me that our society is creating too much pressure on people. That is why we have people shooting up McDonalds or Post Offices all over the country. I believe people are tired of being treated like a second-class citizen because they don’t look or act the way society thinks they should. You can have a person that is extremely talented, but a little... how shall we say it….plain to look at? And then another person that is not nearly as talented, but looks good and sexy. Guess who gets the job!! That’s just wrong!!
I think people need to be more reasonable and look for talent rather than looks or sex appeal. If they don’t change that way of thinking, we are going to hear more and more of people having mental breakdowns and blowing $#!@! up!!.. oh... I mean blowing crap up!! That’s just my opinion. I would be interested to know what you think!

I agree with you! However, I like pretty over ugly, fragrant over stinky, smart over ignorant. Does that make me wrong?
ReplyDeleteMost people are geared toward visual judgement. You can't help but notice things. If you are talking just about jobs, it is sad that people get jobs because of sex, or looks, rather than their intellegence. Everyone of us have experienced this...someone on the job that has no clue what they are doing. You think to yourself, how did they get the job?
In my college classes, I deal with students who have no clue how to write, how to spell, how to create a word document, or any of the requirements for class, yet, they will graduate with a diploma just like the person who worked hard to make an A. It's not right!
Still, I like beauty over ugly, fragrant as opposed to malodor, intellegence over ignorance...so sue me!
