Favoritism is an Ugly -ism

8:03 AM.



I was woken up by this. If only you could see my ecstatic face.

Look the trees are naked. Close your eyes perverts! First day of snow.



This picture reveals two things; one, I drink a lot; two, I am extremely lazy.

Done with the nonsense, I can finally talk about favoritism. Favoritism is a double-edged sword. If someone likes me better than another person, I can't deny that I like soaking up the attention. However, when the person dotes on another person, then I am obviously going to be distraught; thus, questioning why I do not warrant the "Favorite" title.

Favoritism, a disease, thrives daily, whether people are the ones performing the misdeed or whether they are the victims of it. No one should be preferred over someone else unless it is a family member or a spouse, even then it corrupts community. Extreme favoritism leads to a dilapidation of society, people would concern themselves only with who they loved. Fire fighters, doctors, and police officers would put their all in those they know or care about. What about that kid that no one loves, who acts out violently and has a gloomy disposition, should we let him die because doctors did not favor him as much as the adorable perky kid next to him? I am not speaking about literal life or death because I believe if people were placed in that kind of situation, they would save whoever they can. Despite that, if no one wants to spend time or connect with him, would that not result in a weak spirit to live?

People are more sensitive than they claim to be.

It is disappointing to know that people have a tendency to favor individuals over others. Favoritism, like racial slanders, will never cease to exist, but, at the very least, try to treat everyone as equally as possible. Do not make it apparent as to who is the "apple of your eye".
If you are at the other end of the Favoritism stick, then I apologize for society's stupidity.

The solution to this is to be everyone's favorite person, like I am.

A thoughtful post. You've become quite the writer.
