There are only two kinds of people in the world

1264 views. 2012-9-1 15:44 |

“My mom said that there are only two kinds of people in the world, the good people and the bad people”, Said Khan. Simple enough as truth always does, but look into the world, there are so many categories existed based on different nominations. Such as the Asians, the Africans, the  Europeans, the Americans according to geographical location, or the yellow, the black, the white, and the mestizo according to the color of skin, or Christianise, Muslim, Buddhist, Hinduist, according to beliefs. These are just major classifications, if you investigate further, people could be classified into more groups, within Asia, there are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Philippines………don’t mention people from different religions, from different background of families, from different clans. People, therefore, could be classified into hundreds of categories, no wonder conflicts are so prevalent in the world. Chinese is so hateful of Japanese that we call them pigs, white people are so arrogant that we don’t want to deal with them, muslins are so brutal that they should be wiped out from the world, black people are so savage that they should be conquered and be slaves, Jewish should be eliminated by holocaust for their blasphemy, so on and so forth. What if we classify people into only two kinds, the good and the bad.  From which we view people according their intrinsic qualities, such as kindness, generosity, benevolence, nobleness, versus evil, brutality, mean, and ignobleness. Prejudices and conflict of any kind would be drastically reduced if not eliminated. In this regard, we could learn from some great persons of the world, such as Nelson Mandela who crashed apartheid with forgiveness, Gandhi who won national unanimity through peaceful protest, Martin Luther King urged the colored people to give up violence for racial equality. So much hatred, violence, brutality, bloodshed, even genocide, going on every day in every corner of the world, is it the civilization that we desired after thousands of years of humanized development, so advanced of our scientific achievement, that we sent human being to the moon, we explored to the edge of solar system, looking further and further to the edge of the universe in searching of extraterrestrial life for companions, that we could not solve the problems of our own. I look deep in my heart, could not help but yelling: Diverse as human being is, why we couldn’t classify people into only two kinds, the good and the bad, while the good shall win, peace shall prevail.

 

Such is my random and compulsive thoughts after watching the movie, “my name is Khan.”

As far as I am concerned, there is only ONE type of people in this world, that is "PEOPLE". We are not born with hate, but hate is acquired later in life through our parents, relatives and society. God programmed our brains with basic love for humans, like a mother knows how to care for here child without being taught, even animals knows that. Later in life, we hear about others countries, like the Japanese brutality and we learn how to hate them. We should not learn to hate because it is the previous generation's crimes, the present generation is innocent. The previous leaders of our country made so many mistakes and caused untold sufferings, so should we hate all the future leaders? Certainly not. We must be fair in our judgement.

I say there is only one type of people because everyone is born with a blank and clean and innocent mind, all have eyes, arms, legs, hearts, etc. It is only later in our life that we learn how to hate people, mostly through hearsay from other people.

History has shown clearly that the world lives better in peacetime. Closed countries suffer hunger and deprivation. Let us not make the mistake of war again. Embrace the world and it's people. The world is one today.

There are all kinds of people living in the world. All the people are different, but a good education can let people be similar to each other. Just believe in the good things, and make friends with good person, you will find you are living in a happy life.

you saying did make sense, everyone is born pure and innocent who is capable of all the good and all the bad, it is the upbring, education, and the influence of society at large that brought the difference. we  can not change the unchangables, but we do have the choice to change for the better, change could start from our own mind, then spread to the others and to the world at large.

Education did play an important role in forming our views of the world, we should look for the good from the vast information availed rather than being a scanvanger of the human mind, seeking only evils from thousands of good materials. in short, we should have our own judgement and discretions. Thanks, my friend.

i think we have to be realistic that we're all different, not only in color in belief in many other aspects. we're all unique, as we often say. that's why the world is so colorful, so wonderful to live in. i can't imagine a world with everyone looking alike and thinking almost the same. diversity is a good thing for us. however, on the other hand, we are all humans. in this regard we are basically the same. every nationality has its share of good people and its due share of bad guys. hatred is not something that we are born with, but learned afterwards. the key is to learn to look at things from a broad perspective, or just consider ourselves world citizens, not confining ourselves in a narrow small world. let's learn to forget and forgive. be more tolerant with things that you generally don't like. To err is human, to forgive divine.
