Descrimination

Discrimination.  It's the basis of human nature.  It's what we do when deciding if something is right or wrong, or if someone is to young or old.  But is it fair though?

Of course not!  Every day I am told that I'm not old enough to do something.  Or not wise enough and sometimes that I just wouldn't understand.  But who are they to judge that?  Furthermore, how would they know that without first asking me?  It's those moments that make me feel under-respected and somewhat frustrated.

But even though being judged unfairly isn't the best part of life, discrimination is still good.  I do it all the time and so do the other 7 billion people that live on this planet.  For example, every morning when I wake up I choose a cereal to eat for breakfast.  That's discrimination.  So is choosing what type of milk I want for lunch and deciding who I want to sit with.  All of that was discrimination, which is why it's important.  Because without discrimination no-one would know right from wrong, dark chocolate from white chocolate (oh no!), or fun from boring.

As long as it's used properly and is not abused, discrimination can still be good.  Even though it's the basis of human nature we still need to use it properly -- fair or not...
