Once, there was a man. He came to this country for reasons nobody but he would know. He wished to share his ideas and his knowledge so he joined at institution of education.
He met many people from all walks of life. Whether he realised that he had stepped into the melting pot of the east, nobody knows. Sometimes, others have wondered if even he knows.
He stayed and felt he was liked. Yet, there were some that detested him. Some were even afraid of him. And some were nice to him because he was exotic and they shared his ideas.
Like many before him, he brought his attitude, his ideals, his principles and his prejudice. He was convinced he was always right. He was sure others were wrong. He, and only he, saw the truth that others had long abandoned.
His principles clouded his mind. His prejudice clouded his logic. His attitude made others feel threatened. They thought him insane.
Then one day, an opinion was spoken of an event that was happening in a country near his homeland. He reacted without thought, without logic. He lashed out as only he has been able to. He felt he was defending the weak and the meek. He felt he was righteous. In doing so, he made a comment incredibly offensive and ridiculous that it only made others question not only his rationale but also his state of mind.
He said the land he lived in now was full of ignorance and full of people blind in their hatred for others.
For one who does not leave his residence except to share his knowledge, he seems so convinced that the little he sees is all there is to see. For one who has only been in the land he lives in now for less than a year, he seems so sure that he knows all there is to know about it.
We have met others who assumes like he does, who believes like he does and who passes judgement like he does.
Ad we wonder why our world is slowly destroying itself?
