Our Hidden Faces

Sociology doesn't look like me, nor does it look like you. It looks like us. Us talking, us seeing each other from a distance, us judging one another. It is how we interact with others. However, a common misconception is that a human's judgemental nature is a weapon. We criticize and compliment each other before we've spoken a single word. It sounds like a combination of good and evil, but it isn't. Judgements are natural; we were born to make them. It is how you and I make use of those judgements that define us. My goal isn't to stop judging, it is to stop acting upon those judgements. If I don't have something nice to think about someone before I've met them, I shouldn't not give them an equal chance to show me who they are. I can judge, but I shouldn't make voice of my assumptions.

Rabbits

Everything I do in my everyday life is a habit, or else it wouldn't have that name. I eat, sleep, go to work, go to school, go to boxing, go to debate. Everything, new or not, is becoming or has been a habit. But, the question is, not whether these so-called "habits" are bad, but rather, why do I continue with them? The idea of having a habit possesses such a negative connotation. I don't do all of these things because I'm used to it, I do it because it's what I want, and what I think is right. When talking about the common man's habit of never allowing silence, well possibly the true answer to that is not because silence is equivalent to lonliness, but because a lack of silence is equivalent to happiness, or a feeling of comfort. Who can deny a person of that?  I don't "stray away" from my old habits, I change them with the weather. If I one day decide that my work is interfering with the other aspects of my life that I value, I will quit. A habit isn't mean to pull you down, but rather make it easier to go on.
