Prejudice - so hard to get rid of

Hi there,
It has been a while ago, and yeah I quess my written exam (English) went well. Still waiting for the result. The oral exam is on coming Thursday. It's going to be fun to talk English for 30 minutes when I haven't had any chance to talk to people in English for more than few minutes only. We will see. A lot to revise this weekend. And I've already gathered a lot stress just by thinking of the exam.
A lot of things are coming up this month, the exam, the summer holiday, getting ready for the trip...only 2 weeks left. I can not swallow all this... I really have to plan my days well, otherwise there is a major chance for being drowned in all these tasks.
Ok Ok I said to myself to be more positive, more energitic, and you people out there may think, she has not done anything else than complaining. I will stop now. Taken into action :-)

Today I went to shop a trolley - I couldn't make up my mind which one to take - the average one or the exclusive one which is also an expensive one... Maybe I should borrow one from my parents - easier and a cheaper solution!

After the few hours hunt I went home to see the second match in the World Cup Tournament. But a specific programme took my interest and I was glued to the television seeing this programme about the talented and beautiful singer Susan Boyle. I was hooked from the very beginning. Right from her entrance in front of the audience and how all and everyone started to look at her. If prejudice had a face it could be the one which showed up among the audience and the judges when this wonderful singer entered the stage. (They didn't know her great voice, they only could see her appearance which was a middle aged woman far away from being a sophisticated lady.) I felt a little bit of resentment too. I could be one of the audience, I've caught myself being prejudiced. Only after having a look on people, and there it is. The ugly devil in us - we have to express our disgust without any compassion for the other person. Sometimes we really don't care how the person would feel. It is all about how WE feel!
It was bit painful to see this lady coming on stage and getting this welcome which was not pleasant at all. And it was more painful to see people's reaction when she started to sing. How we can turn 180 degree and be someone else, be in a total different stage of mood - just by hearing her singing. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It was really pity!
The lady took it in a cool way. Maybe that's why she deserved to be such a big star now.

We may have experienced it once or more in our life time. That the ugly side within us comes to the surface. And what is more ugly is that we ignore our previous ugly behaviour and turns into a beautiful human who adores the person you just saw with so much disgust! It tells more about us as a human than the other person.
Maybe it is worthwhile to take a look on us as human once in a while. It is so pity to be one of the judges or one among the audience from that talent show.
Stories like hers and people like her make us to stop short and consider ourselves. Isn't it worth to be a beautiful human from deep within rather than getting a cheap laugh at the expense of somebody's look or way of being themselves?
But we still continue doing the same mistake over and over again. Even though we grow older and older.

Take a look on this video and you will understand what I' talking about.


Good night!
