A friend’s post got me thinking – we live in a world of double standards, but ought we be ashamed of it?
It’s a world where it’s funny if your friend’s son is gay, but preposterous if your own daughter is. It’s a world where angmohs get priority service and locals get non-service. It’s a world where it’s okay for foreign talents not to speak English but locals are not allowed to speak Singlish. It’s a world where we’re promised equality but at the same time we can’t champion our causes.
If we have to feel ashamed for every double standard that we have, I don’t think we can live.
Just some (junk)food for thought.
I think everyone has double standards. Just a matter of whether they impose these on us or not.
