We live in a society that is constantly pushing us to achieve, to do our best, to be successful, to make it to the top. Hell, the entire American Dream pushes that. But, you know what? I don’t think that’s for everyone. I don’t think that even should be for everyone.
If all you achieve in life is contentment in being, well, I think you’ve gotten more than most millionaires in the world.

Here’s a friendly reminder: Revised
-You cannot be sexist toward men. Sexism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against men but you CANNOT be sexist toward them.
-You cannot be racist towards white people. Racism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against white people but you CANNOT be racist toward them.
Sometimes people’s minds get clouded by the emotion behind certain issues. I’m no different - no one is perfect. However I want to point out that you can be sexist towards men, and you can be racist towards white people. Any gender can be targeted for sexism, and any ethnicity can be a target of racism.
Sexism, also known as gender discrimination or sex discrimination, is defined as prejudice or discrimination based on sex; or conditions or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex.Sexist attitudes are frequently based on beliefs in traditional stereotypes of gender roles. Sexism is not just a matter of individual attitudes but is built into many societal institutions.
Sexism involves hatred of, or prejudice towards, a gender or the application of gender stereotypes. Sexism is often associated with gender supremacy arguments.
Racism is generally understood as either belief that different racial groups are characterized by intrinsic characteristics or abilities and that some such groups are therefore naturally superior to others,or as practices that discriminate against members of particular racial groups,for example by perpetuating unequal access to resources between groups.
