When Small Minds Talk Big

They are growing in numbers;small minded people. You can recognise them the second words that hold no meaning but contempt tumble out. Small minded people listen selectively to snatches of conversation and make up their own versions. No research,no verifying facts. Little cocern or none at all for the feelings of others. They talk big and it comes out so stupid, mind boggling and outrageous that one is left wondering if they are from a different planet.

It amuses me no end when i come across an article written by these small minds but what shocks me is the person who gives print space and acknowledgement. How can a person who says something plainly dumb be in the spotlight?. Maybe, the spotlight is meant to single out the small mind, so the rest of us can have a good laugh?.

What is worrying though; these small minds have a following who lap up every poison word unthinkingly further feeding the huge ego of this kind. The following or fans believe everything they hear without question. That is dangerous. It actually gives the small minds leverage to continue dishing out garbage indiscriminately.

How is that society has degraded to a level that is void of understanding and weighing things wisely?. When did sound judgement disappear to be replaced by blind and insane acceptance?.i suppose the herd mentality and the trend of simply following the latest, the most current that the rest of the population is agreeing and adhering to takes precedence. Small minds who talk big get away with so little effort no thanks to those who mindlessly do not mind being brainless.

No Thought Given.Thinking Before Talking Is No Longer Practised.

Do we actually think before saying something? Give thought to the consequences of our words?. Everyday, people around me are saying things which most often defies logic and the words spoken carry no meaning. Why say it then?. i understand that seeking attention escapes no one but as time goes by, it is becoming apparent that no thought is given before one opens his or her mouth. That is downright dumb and dangerous. 'Think before you speak'. 'Look before you leap' were definitely coined after much thought. Words are so powerful that they yield unimaginable impact whichever way it hits you. i believe in it. Just three magic words,"i love you" soars the spirit whilst,"i hate you" can crush your soul. Sometimes words are uttered intentionally to cause hurt and careful thought is given for choice words to create such an effect. It is cruel. When no thinking at all is done before giving views or sharing information, it is damaging because it will cause ...

A Sixth Sense (?)

Do you have a sixth sense?. It is sometimes called instinct, gut feeling, inner voice and i don't know what else. It is said that all of us are born with six senses but only the five obvious ones are acknowledged. The sixth sense is for you to discover within you...Should you ever!. i've often used the phrase, 'i'm going with my gut feeling on this.' i find that when i have to make an important decision and swarmed by well meant advice from different people, i "hear" another voice that has no name, no face but is the loudest. i also get a nagging feeling that if i follow sound advice, it will turn out wrong. On the other hand, following my instincts will surely result in what i want. i can tell you with conviction that allowing my sixth sense to guide me has resulted in amazing outcomes. Once or twice despite an inner turmoil, i acted upon advice that i thought was sound, made sense and sensible. It turned out disastrous for me!. i came to the conclusi...

Insensitive Discrimination Creates Discord

It was with utter dismay that i discovered the absence of any recognition of the recently celebrated Festival Of Lights in a bimonthly magazine published for a well known retail giant. As a card member,i'm entitled to a free copy which i diligently collect to look out for new products, articles to read, happenings and snippets that i really enjoy. In the last issue (Sept/Oct),when i didn't see any highlights for Diwali,i assumed it would appear in the following issue (Nov/Dec). Imagine my disappointment when it wasn't there in the last issue for this year. There were pages of recipes, clothing and decor ideas for the other major festivals celebrated in Malaysia but not for the Festival Of Lights. An oversight by the editor? or a total lack of sensitivity for another culture?. No excuse can compensate for the absolute disregard and dismissal of the festival altogether. It all boils down to respecting another culture and having the decency and courtesy to accord the same ...
