Keep Calm and Respect Everyone

Obesity and malnourishment are both diseases. Stay fit.
Extremism and indifference are both too! Stay logical.

 

Feminism is not extremism.
I am a feminist. I think in many ways women need empowerment.
I am a feminist. I think in many ways men need empowerment too.
I am a feminist. I refuse to take anyone's offer of seat, unless in dire need.
I am a feminist. I always offer my seat to an old person/ kid or someone in need.
I am a feminist. I love opening doors for men, women, children, everyone.
I am a feminist. I respect non-working men, working men, non-working women, working women, girls, boys, everyone and their choices.
I am a feminist. I think it's perfectly okay for a woman to ask someone out.
I am a feminist. I think it's plain stupid when, at a dinner, men pay for women.
I am a feminist. I don't think women are better than men.
I am a feminist. I don't think men are better than women.
I am a feminist. Separate queues for women baffle me.
I am a feminist. And I believe in the following:

Respect men. Don't worship them, don't demean them. Let them be.
Respect women. Don't worship them, don't demean them. Let them be.
Respect children. Don't worship them, don't demean them. Let them be.
Respect people. Don't worship them, don't demean them. Let them be.

In Search of Peace.

I lie down flat on my double bed, too much comfort, a glass of cool water, the whole room to myself with more than I could ask for. A room full of possibilities. The only thing I have to do is get up and work or learn or just show a little enthusiasm. But here I lie, procrastinating. Every day. Lazing around in luxury.

And there are kids, out there, right now, who are scourging for items in the garbage dumps; deprived of schooling, food and basic things that I have taken for granted all my life. What have I done to deserve what I am reaping? Zilch. What have those kids done to be deprived of their basic necessities? Each child deserves to get access to opportunities, like you and I got.

I vow. I am not going to die without having done at least the tiniest bit to bridge this unfair gap. I am just too directionless to start alone. Is there anyone out there who wishes to take this forward? Anyone with any thoughts on this? Anyone?
