I am finding more and more difficult to understand how people get upset at other people. What I mean is like, how someone could think being transgender, or homosexual is confusing. I understand it fully, and don't think it's stupid at all. But not even those things, I mean just about anything that people find confusing, or that they can't grasp or won't accept. Well, for instance, we were discussing (off the record) in my psychology class about whether homosexuality is a choice or not, and some guy flat out said he thought it was a choice. Now, fore one, I have to say that I have no problem with people who think homosexuality is wrong, I just don't like them to hate the gays. For someone to just blatantly state that gays choose that life, obviously do not know any gay people personally at all. Most homosexuals I know hate being gay, and have gone for help and even hide their true feelings from everyone. I know not all of them are like this, obviously, but a great number are. Also, I don't think you can generalize something like that. I am sure it is a case by case deal, and sure, maybe SOME gays out there choose that life, but I don't honestly think so.

And not just sexual things either. What about the huge schism of understanding between religious groups. This sometimes leads to wars, and hate crimes, and it is absurd. No religion, and I repeat, NO religion preaches hate. Muslims do not hate Christians and Jews. Christians do not hate Atheists. Atheists do not hate people of faith, and Buddhist don't hate anybody. Yet so many hate crimes are committed in the names of these things, and it is mind boggling. I suppose there is really, no TRUE peace on earth.
