Hello faithful readers!
OMG!! I started watching a new show on TLC tonight called My Giant Life. It's about a number of women who all are over 6'6" in height. One a teenager that is 6'9". I'll admit that I do find people who are different to be fascinating. But there is a place where you simply have to draw the line when it comes to your curiosity.
A glance is one thing, but to stare, point, laugh, take pictures and video without permission. I'm sorry, but that is simply rude and ignorant behavior. The diversity of human life, and looks, is infinite. People come in all shapes and sizes. But because a number of us fall in the 'average' category, people seem to think that gives them license to treat people who are different as less than human.
How would you feel if you put on a new outfit that you really liked, but everywhere you went people pointed and laughed and stared at you. If you saw someone taking your picture and they hadn't asked for your permission. By the end of the day you'd be feeling horrible about the new outfit you loved to start with. How would you feel if that was about something you couldn't change the way you can an outfit?
I just get really bothered at how manners seem to get thrown right out the window with people anymore. Other people are not your personal side show. Have some respect and manners and just let people live their lives!!
Thanks for listening to me rant!
Dawn
