You say you don't discriminate, but you do mind if one of your friends get involved in one. Isn't that indirect discrimination? You can't bring yourself to accept your friend's decision to get involved; cannot bring yourself to accept their choice. Then you decide to play God, and decide what is right and what is wrong, what should be done, and what shouldn't be done.
Before anyone can ask for acceptance, they should be able to justify their decisions. It doesn't mean that you are obliged to hold yourself answerable to everyone, the public, the society on all questions regarding this particularly sensitive issue. Even though you owe no one any explanation, you still need to be able to explain to yourself.
It's about being able to explain yourself; why you chose to be; and why you want to be; and not expecting everyone to be seeing things on the same plane immediately.
What do you know about acceptance?

Distinctively Yours
There are things that must be clear cut. No in between. No compromise.
A Cambodian couple decided to saw off their house into half after a divorce. -.-"
Now, tell me about clear cut. That's a whole new level of divorcing.

Take My Hand
Life is a rigid, sequentially executed list of programs.
Fresh out of your mother's womb, learn to crawl, learn to walk, learn to talk, learn to talk back, go to school, secondary school, college, university, get a boyfriend, get married, have kids, educate them. etc etc etc. Lastly wait for the Grim Reaper to come for you.
This cycle has been passed down for countless of generations.
Breaking the preprogrammed guide on how one should live their lives seemed out of norm. People don't usually do that; often brushed it off saying why should anyone challenge something that were proven to work after so many generations?
Lack of faith in Novelty? Or were they simply afraid to thread off the beaten path?
Do we require formality in ALL things? These are not business deals. Not something you give, take and sign papers. With money back guarantee? God.. These are real feelings we're talking about.
They are just going through the motions, perhaps?

Selamat Hari Raya, Malaysia
The thing about us Malaysians is that, we really do forgive and forget.
Wait a minute, I don't think it happen very often, but at least we will do that in the spirit of any festive celebration in the country, provided there are 'rumah terbuka' - whereby endless sumptuous spread of festive food is served - FREE OF CHARGE.
No one felt uneasy about race relations; damn right we aren't, we've been living together for the past how many years? 51. We still don't know how to disagree rationally. It was because some idiots decide to question differences and make it their agenda to save their own sorry ass, we have to live through hell created by them.
Free food = Good crowd
So, did anyone get me any ketupats from Pak Lah's open house feast?
Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir dan batin.
Accuracy of Death
How would you feel if you were to find out that life and death is decided upon by one of the many Grim Reapers?
Who are they to decide who lives and who dies, based on their outlooks on your life which they don't have the slightest idea about, besides coming to claim your life when the time comes.
Seemingly plain and simple things can be important; it brings meaning and purpose to life.
