Discrimination by Zodiac Signs
Some people are so much into astrology and horoscopes that they won't even associate with you if you won't share your birthday with them or tell them your zodiac sign. The messed up part is that sometimes when you disclose your birthday or zodiac sign to them they want to start treating you differently because they are using your zodiac sign as fuel against you to make a bias judgement call about your CHARACTER. Some people out right say "I don't like Scorpio's". Or they'll say "Oh no, me and Capricorns don't get along". Sometimes they'll take it a step further by making predictions about the relationship your going to have like "Oh you're an Aeris, your going to be so mean to me that our friendship won't work". "You sagittarius's are so cold hearted, I know you won't care for me." "Cancer people are too emotional". "I'll never date a Leo, they are cheaters".
I'm here to let you know that these are all judgement calls. Some people don't even act like their zodiac sign that's why people end up having to ask what a persons sign is. When a person asks you what your sign is it's because they can't figure out what your zodiac sign is based on your personality. It isn't until they know what your zodiac sign is that they start seeking out those characteristics that they favor or dislike in your sign. Not to mention that we live in a world of ATTRACTION, therefore if you expect to have a problem with any person regaurdless of their zodiac sign you will have a problem with that person. I'd also like to add that if you think all people under one sign are bad then you will encounter all of the people that reflect only the negative aspects of that sign.
Me, I like to read the horoscopes daily because I find it fun;
I will also read about love and the stars from time to time and to be honest it's not always accurate. For me, my horoscope is barely parrallel with the actual life that I'm living. I'm smart enough not to judge people because of any reason especially something like their zodiac sign because I know it isn't an actual guidline for the person. I think it is unfortunate that some people won't date a person because of how compatible the stars say they are. My personal life experience has taught me that the people who I am SUPPOSED to be compatible with become my enemies and the people they say I'm not compatible with are some of the best people and closest friends that I have found life.
I personally think that only shallow and close minded people judge people and discriminate against people based on their Zodiac sign.
I also feel in some ways it's one of the worst forms of discrimination because you are out right attacking the person inside, the character and personality of the individual. It's sad that discrimination even exists in any way but to see that it truly does take shape in every aspect of life is insulting. It's more insulting to know that now people are discriminating against you because of your zodiac sign. Next thing we know we'll be discriminated against because our social security numbers got too many odd numbers and not enough even numbers.It's amazing to me how our birthdays have now become a tool to help people further discrimination against us.

So very true. Great blog! Plus people don't consider this a form of discrimination, but it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you and it IS discrimination, hopefully soon people will see it for what it is.
DeleteAmazing how much more power numbers have over mere words...
ReplyDeletewhat an interesting view point Banu Suresh. Food for thought. Thanks for the feed back =)
DeleteFunny...how people will say we are so much alike...becasue we have the same sign...lol not! you are so right...I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Most people under my same sign are nothing like me. So I can see your view point times 1000
DeleteI love this blog; you definitely nailed it. I thought that was funny that's why I started having people guess my sign, just to see if they were even close. Let's just say very few times did they get it right within the first three times. Smh, when will people judge others based on the person they are, and not try to associate them with a group that may or may not compliment them as an individual.
ReplyDeleteStop looking for signs Live, Love,Learn
Nyamekye great minds think alike... And no one ever guess's my sign right I concur 100 % Stop looking for signs Live, Love,Learn.... What a great comment!
DeleteIm not much into signs but it seems like most girls I meet are obsessed with usuing that as a way of figuring me out. I'm a gemini so i already know what they are thinking when find out. If someone made a choice to not deal with me because of my sign i'd laugh and probably say to myself that they have obviously been traumatized by a gemini, ppl in general need to go case by case and stop letting there past interfere with there future or there pre-judgment interfere with the reality.
ReplyDeleteRight on point John T. I'm loving the way you laid it out flat!!ppl in general need to go case by case.. We are all unique and deserve a chance to be seen as an individual minus the judgement calls.
DeleteI agree with everything you typed. The zodiac signs aren't specefic. It's way more difficult, to actually know someone's personality you gotta know the exact time when they were born. Most of the people only hate on zodiac signs because it's a trend. I personally think that zodiac signs are only for fun, just to have something to be busy with. But the way people use it is awful.
