Hello everyone!
The fact that I’m writing a
blog today is weirdly, stunningly and so unexpected of me. I haven’t write anything
since the last time I worked at a company nearly two months ago.
There
are a lot of things I want to share to others, but I’ll try to keep it simple. It is about the most sensitive issue ever existed which have been a taboo for ages among
the world communities.
SEXUALITY
What defines sexuality? According
to many sources, sexuality is defined as thoughts, feelings and conforming to
either of the attraction, towards the opposite or of the same sex. Now it may
seem like it is easy to define sexuality as it is however, with first hand real-world
experience in mind, it isn’t as easy as what was described in definitions by
intellectuals or lexicographers.
While the experiences may
vary arbitrarily, one thing is for sure for many, the complexity that it brings
to the emotion and mental well being is a double-edged sword. It may destroy the
human inside you if it swings on the wrong side but at the same time if it
swings on the right side, it will provide happiness that one might be looking
for or dream of.
Let’s break down this issue
to a laymen perspective (personally on my point of view):
1.The needs to label and to
conform to a specific community is an intense stage during teenage hood (some
might lead to suicidal thoughts, attempts and cases)
2.The confusion of whether this
is something acceptable or something that does not go beyond the other party’s favor in many variables (acceptable and non-acceptable norms which may varies with
different people in different situation).
3.The needs to experience
hurt, mental torture and abuse before finding the right ones.
4.Trauma on HIV-AIDS or STD
related diseases consequences.
5.The right age gap for love. Older vs Younger with terms like Cougar and etc.
6.History VS Present
sexuality occasions
7.Coming out of the closet or stay in the closet? (Hindered
by fear and atrocious individuals it may attracts)
8.Slanders, name calling and public shaming
to people of different sexuality
9.Stereotypes on Gender Identity
10.Religious belief vs Innate Instinct
These are the issues which I
am sure would have happened to many other communities across the globe.Communities around the world
should start addressing these issues before it plagues our society with hatred
and negativity. Addressing the issue by not simply put a Code of Conduct or
rulings, but rather approach these issues through discussions and
understandings before it is too late.
A lot of people see this as
an opportunity to impose certain religious belief instead of trying to understand what’s
happening around them. To remain in power and to be in favor of the majority,
some countries just couldn’t be bothered to take these issues seriously even
though its happening around us daily.
We should celebrate love as
it is. Sexual or non-sexual, we don’t need people to tell us, what is right and
wrong in love. What we need to understand is everyone are entitled to feel
different and differences are not something should be judged for. If ethnicity’s
boundaries gap could be closed, why wouldn’t love boundaries gap be it of the
opposite or same sex attraction to be closed as well?
"Don't be afraid of being different, be afraid of being the same as everyone else"
Love Yourself Campaign by BTS X Unicef is one of some examples to be open about these issues.
