Bigotry is death-avoidant.

We are ALL going to die. Every single one of us and no one knows when. You’d think with that type of certain reality that people would live with less restrictions, more zest for life and an acceptance of of living things and beings they know will be met with the same fate. Yet, that’s not our world. Our world is very constringent on social hierarchy. Racism, sexism, homophobic, transphobia, classism, fatphobia, xenophobia, ableism you name it we got a structure of worth for who’s more supreme than who, who deserves more, who is below us and how can we keep them there. This is all death-avoidant. A vicious fight to forget that in actuality none of this is real. That one day we will become irrelevant. Hundreds of years will pass and one day no one will know we even existed.

For me personally, I find it very relieving. It loosens up my muscles up to know it’s all just an experience and I don’t have to take it that damn seriously. The more I face the there will be an end the more relaxed I feel. I think death can be the great ultimate relief for humans if they’d allowed it to be. Damn, I lost my purse? I really loved it and could choose to be stank about it all day but you know what they’ll be more great things for me to collect and we're going to die anyways so who cares? You can literally apply death to any problem and it will diffuse the stress out of it like a balloon. Things stop being so being THAT damn serious.

I believe whole-heartedly that’s what bigots are afraid of. Death and how simple and calm it makes life. No matter how much money you think you have, what color your skin is, how tea your body is or where you’re from that can not release you from the grasps of death when it chooses you. And even if you decided to play God and take someone else’s life it is guaranteed that the same destiny is already paved for you. Mortality. That is the great equalizer. It demands of us to see each other on even plain field and for you to refuse to see the equality of all of us then you must be a person in desperate effort (whether conscious of it or not) to ignore death. Empathetic people who seeks deep connection and love amongst the differences of all of us are already spiritually connected to something beyond mortal experience. They are less attached to the physical and more to the soul. They have a sensitive passion in life that transcends human body and human rules and structure we indoctrinated into.

None of these social rules and hierarchy we must follow will save us from mortality and what I’m witnessing with hateful people is it seems that they are trying very hard to to convince themselves that it will. Isn’t that sad, to not be able to accept the fullness of life and diversity until the very last moment of your days and by then the blessed time you were given is wasted? It’s almost like you stole your own life away and for what?

Life is about love. It truly is. It’s about living endearingly and enough care for the world around you to truly feel the textures of life. It’s a gift, not a rat race, not a battle for a crown. After this there is no crown. There is nothing win. Only an experience for us gain and then we go. We go and that’s it.
