In the face of the general uprising against racism, I must say that I am against racism, but I am also against blacks who think that every white person is racist, poor people who think that every rich person is an exploiter, mediocre and conservative rich people, radical religious and all kinds of radical people who thinks that anyone who thinks differently must be wrong for her to be right.
In recent years, many things are contributing to a fragile and chaotic society. From the excess of self-help content that has been produced to the ways in which people defend causes such as combating racism, machismo, homophobia and even vegetarianism and veganism. Everything has been polarized and this idiotic polarization is getting no one anywhere. Only in children's stories is the enemy 100% evil and always external. In real life it is a bit different, and even Sidarta (the historical Buddha), back in India, was aware about this for thousands of years.
It is pathetic and shameful to see certain postures. There is no employee without a boss and for a company to be large it needs employees. Each intelligent person develops talents and becomes useful to society through his work. Increasingly, artificial intelligence and machines are taking up job vacancies, but that didn't start yesterday. It comes from the times of the industrial revolution. So it is important to develop talent for creative and strategic work and go far beyond technique.
If someone's nationality, skin color, gender, sexual orientation or religion speaks louder than their talent, there is something wrong. I was born in Brazil, but I am not obliged to behave as the average Brazilian behaves (thankfully, because the average Brazilian is a shame). I am a woman, but in my field of work no man does my job better than me. Not other women. Sexual orientation is also not something we have to prove out there. It does not concern anyone but ourselves.
For many things in this life we need support from other people. I myself am looking for support and sponsorship to study music abroad, a childhood love. If the reader can collaborate, I will love it! But they are individual struggles, they do not belong to all members of a group, most of the time. Majority is not everyone.
There are many other things that are internal struggles, to discover where that feeling of inferiority came from or what talents I lack to change my condition. And with so many external sources of self-help and people fighting for minorities, this internal struggle is neglected by many. The radicals I mentioned at the beginning of the text look for culprits, but do not do any kind of self-analysis. They just think they are right and they own the truth. And they become a bunch of limited bores.
The internal struggles are hard, terrible, but we can only find real peace when facing these battles. Are there enemies outside? Yes, because there are a lot of selfish and spiritually miserable people out there. But without facing the battle against yourself and your inner ghosts, every external battle will be lost.
As much as the traditional media insists on setting the stage for idiots because their main interest is to have an audience and most people are culturally limited and interested in gossip and crime, there are interesting people with different attitudes in this world.
From the point of view of marketing, to dialogue with those who think differently than what the traditional media propagates, it is necessary to think more about content and less about numbers.
Nobody agrees 100% with everything that another person does and thinks, but it is absolutely necessary that there is respect for differences, the limits of the other and for yourself.
