I ism this I ism that

I am tired of seeing all the "..ism" in America today. I swear I see racism, sexism, ageism and patriotism every other day. Trust me there are more ism than what I've listed. These words are in books, newspapers, television and even everyday speech. I see it so frequently that I wonder if people even know why they use it. In my opinion, they are constantly being misused by everyday highly educated people. The reason the highly educated people are major culprit of this is because it is easy to just summarize than to examine the details. Also it make it an useful tool to prove a point. But the topic is not about how smart you are, but about what integrity you have in the search of the truth out there. Furthermore, I think sometime smart people are not always the wise one. Which is why when you look at the history of truly great people, they are not always the smartest, but illustrate how wise they are in that time of need.

So I don't think other country have the need to put everything in some kind of system of belief or doctrine. Here in the land of the free we have to feel superior to everyone else and therefore we categorize people. But what is more disturbing is that we use the word to preach and judge others and yet we are the one that practice such blasphemy. How many time have we gone and condemned other countries for what they are doing. We announce them as inhuman and in the name of freedom we say so. We judge them as they were less than us. Then in all occurrences, year later we found out we were in the position of acting the same inhumanity. For example, in history and as today we see the practice of war for some sort of cause. We justify our action by the use of defamatory statements, insert our enemy into a doctrine, and bless it in the name of freedom for all. This is what is sad in my opinion. The intelligent people use their gift to compromise integrity. If you were to look at what is wrong today, that may be one of the starting point. The real smart one, will use this same practice, build a belief, and then fool other smart people into his cause. But when it come time to show what he has done, he has very little to show for it but to continue pass blame onto others. Well, for those that still in search of the ism, here is one for you.....foodism. Now get ready to separate ourselves from different kind of food.
