Politically Correct?

I have had enough of adhering to "politically correct" terms. Not a sentence or comment can be passed without weighing its "correctedness" for the fear of offending someone or something for that matter. Suddenly using the word homosexual is incorrect but lesbian and/or gay is more appropriate.

What if I am gay but not really gay *you know what I mean?*

Linguists and etymologists must be suffering huh?

The world is going nuts I guess, or at least it is beginning to.

So, if you're self-conscious about being politically correct, refer to this list. It might help you

Obsequious Behaviour

In our days and times, knowledge, specialization and creativity is secondary to connections. Its very unfortunate, but almost always it is.

It has become a normal thing to use words such as "networking" as an excuse for attending professional gatherings. And since it has become a socially acceptable mode of meetings, I myself had given in. But what I cannot stand is the OBSEQUIOUS BEHAVIOUR this networking entails. It sickens me to see little puppies waggling their tails while leaving lip imprints on Big Shots' behinds. And as much as it upsets my stomachs, it relieves me and makes me laugh myself silly on how disgusting and pitiful the perpetrators of this shameful behaviour look like from aside.

Now, it is important to underline that obsequiousness has different manifestations dependent on gender, age and brain-weight. Ladies, revealing cleavages and calves makes you look more like a bimbo than a professional employee capable of getting things done.

Guys, using Shakespearian English and engaging in topics of extremely high complexity based on your superficial perusal of ONE article in a local newspaper does not reflect depth, but, on the contrary, shallowness. Furthermore, getting nodding responses from people in the business must not be interpreted as their approval. Again, DEPTH of insight is needed here, and you haven't gotten it.

But, haven't you noticed my friend? A$$-connoisseurs do not compete against each other. They'd rather gang up against those who use their taste buds for gourmet food. Therefore, we often have these two teams in most gatherings: the would-do and the would-never-do.

I have always believed in this adage: Birds of a feather, flock together.

Every man for himself

That's exactly what it is these days. Can't depend on anyone to lend you a hand, let alone do something for you. And silly you, you would do the somersault to make someone feel better. And I blame noone but your pathetic self for not being smart enough to recognize that this is what this current time is all about, every man for himself !

That reminds me of what Ali ibn Abi Talib كرَم الله وجهه said:
وذقت المرارات فلم أجد أمر من الحاجة إلى الناس

To be in need of someone makes one weak, and I'm talking about favors! Oh how I hate those, and miss the days when I did everything myself instead of being feeble and burdening myself with reciprocity and repayment. Furthermore, all the negative emotions that surface when your favor can't be done, such as disappointment, hurt, anger. Why do you need those?!

Depend on yourself you wimp and do everything by yourself and for yourself. That will make your life harder but you'll feel better about yourself, for there is no better feeling than debt-free feeling.
