Hello Cosmos,
I was named Bradley Phillip Snape, raised in the NSW country town of Lismore where I have lived 19 years. In that time I have completed the Higher School Certificate, finished the 1st year of a Bachelor of Social Science (Policing & Justice Studies) Degree, while living on campus at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst and have never been sentenced to jail. I stand 6 foot 4 inches tall, have hair on my head, 2 blue eyes strategically placed between a 4 year old broken nose. Below the nose a mouth can be found that holds teeth, many of which contain fillings. I was blessed with 2 arms, 2 legs and a penis. Somewhere within my outer skin casing lies a brain. It is one of 6 billion currently functioning around the world, no more or less important than any other.
This is my truth, tell me yours...
I am not a religious person, but I am interested in the philosophies behind each religion and why people devote their life to their god. While I disagree about the existence of a supernatural being, I am unable to prove otherwise and therefore must accept and tolerate the wishes of others.
I am currently working on changing my metal bias towards people who are homosexual or from a different ethnic background from myself. To quote Ben Harper "When I was a baby I was not prejudiced hey how about you this was something that I learned in school something they taught us to do". As you may have guessed I am Caucasian, and live in a part of the world where we are the dominant species. I am now aware that these people have done nothing to deserve the discrimination they are faced with daily. To quote Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream, that one day my 4 little children will live in a nation where they are not judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character". Inclusion not exclusion is the key to survival.
Another thing that concerns me is the unequal position of women in society. In nature the strong always exploit the weak at their expense. Modern day human beings are the most intelligent creatures to ever walk the earth, so one would expect to find that this extra knowledge and reasoning power to have created an equal society. But this is not so, in some countries women are not permitted to vote, prohibited from dressing as they wish, banned from the workplace, receive less money for working the same job as a man, molded into the sexual image desired by men, hold fewer positions of importance within the business and political sector. How do we go about creating equality for all? It is well know that history does not treat kind those who attempt to hurry it.
