Live life the way you want it, not let someone else tell you how to.

I was just thinking about the Christmas song "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer". It's not a very nice song - melody and instrumentals aside - if you ask me. The song (to me) basically reduces to how one reindeer is discriminated against, only to be welcomed as part of the group after he was appointed by Santa to guide the sleigh. Is it really the kind of message we want to be sending to the entire world? To exclude someone, then include that person only when he or she has been "sensationalised"? Is this perpetuating the idea of popularity? Or condemning someone by his or her looks? Yet the sad truth is that this is happening in our world now. What was thought to be a cheerful Christmas song, reveals a terrible "illness" existing in the world now: a world basing judgements on appearance.
