Well, didn’t I piss off some people on facebook on the weekend?
And the emails I got? Why? Two reasons. The
first? Weight. I posted this link on facebook –
My exact words were – “Interesting concept...nope, not about
to do it myself but I admire her.”
Why do I admire her? Because people make a decision for
themselves and take action based on how they feel and what is important to
them. You may not like it. I may not like it. But it’s their decision. We don’t
have to understand it. People choose to act as their conscience dictates and
what’s important to them. This lady made a stand because she wanted to. She
wasn’t asking people to like it or agree with it. What she did was for herself.
If she did this to make herself feel
better about who she is then good luck to her. It is not for me or other people to
point out the possible flaws in her plan. Yeah, ‘her plan.’ You don’t want to
look at her? Don’t look. You declare she needs to lose weight? Look at what you
need to change in your life before you judge another. You think she eats
indiscriminately, like a self obsessed pig and deserves to be fat? We have no
idea of what she eats or her metabolism or what exercise she does. I don’t know
what’s going on in her head. No one but she does. And the criticism that really
got me was from two people indicating their disgust in that she was trying to make a place in
society to be accepted as a human being around other human beings. Well, fuck
me, what a bitch she is to want to find her place in the world and be at peace
with who she is.
Now onto the other thing. I’m a white woman. I’m me. I’m
average. I have strange, crazy beliefs that everyone should be treated equally
regardless of how they look, the colour of their skin and regardless of gender.
I know, call me crazy. What I object to
is being blamed as a 'white woman' for all the ills in the world. Bollocks! Yeah,
shitty things happen to good people regardless of their skin colour. I'm not about to apologize for my skin colour or who I am. You want to hate me for that? Grow up. Blame one
type of person over another and point to them as evil? Oh for fuck sake. Haven't we got enough war in the world
Yeah – you can email me – amarinda_jones@yahoo.com.au

I've noticed unhappy people never blame themselves for their state of being. I wonder why that is...
Because they are gutless
