Do homophobic individuals have right to be hateful towards homosexuals?
It is okay to have negative thoughts, if we can keep them to ourselves. Our thoughts are our own and only we have the right to decide how we perceive things around us. But then the next question is: Can we keep our thoughts to ourselves all the time? The answer is a simple No. We cannot always cageRead more

Can we keep our thoughts to ourselves all the time? The answer is a simple No.
We cannot always cage our thoughts in our hearts forever, especially the negative ones. And that is precisely, where the problem starts.
When you have homophobic sensibilities in you, in some form they get reflected in your words and actions. And that reflection of Homophobia in fellow humans’ behaviour is what has led LGBT people run campaigns all over the world for their rights. When a certain belief or sensibility of one section of human population causes pain/humiliation of the other section, then there must be something wrong with the very belief system itself. And in this case, the faulty belief system dictates ‘Homosexuality is unnatural and like a disease.’
Homosexuality has been there since always. It’s just that earlier, humans were not free-minded enough to understand that it is, but a natural process, only different from what they were accustomed to.
Now time is changing. We are progressing. We have to understand that sexuality (Homo, Hetero or Bi) of a human is instrinsic.
Most of us are accustomed to watching heterosexual couples around. So, gay couples can make us uncomfortable initially. But the time has come to do away with this initial discomfort and intolerance, and make life easier for others.
Anyway, I digress. The point is, one cannot dictate what the other will think. If you wish to be homophobic, one cannot possibly force you to change. But is it okay? Well, it is okay on a personal level, but not okay, if you look at the bigger picture. If two people of the same gender wish to live with one another and be happy, then why should the society object to it or hate it? Is it because such couples cannot produce children in the natural process of union? In that case, we can relax. Given the number of heterosexuals that walk the earth, our human race is not going extinct anytime soon.
How can a person develop strong-presence personality?
To me a strong presence personality is when people notice you and talk about you even without you present! It is when you effortlessly command attention wherever you go.

To me a strong presence personality is when people notice you and talk about you even without you present! It is when you effortlessly command attention wherever you go. You have this particularly striking personality that is just unignorable. It is when you walk into a room and people turn their heads at you.
See lessWell, seemingly there are so many types of personalities but I would like to give examples of two kinds of people who are strikingly distinct from each other and yet have a strong presence.
Lets call the first one Tara. I will list down the traits that make her a strong personality.
Oh! She is such a happy person. Not annoyingly enthusiastic but lively and bright. She smiles a lot and you can’t help but smile at her too because her smile is genuine and it reverberates with you.
She is a positive person. She is a like a breath of fresh air. You feel uplifted and good when you meet her.
She has interesting snippets of her experiences that she shares with you and she narrates it in such an absorbing way that its not too long but has all the right elements.
She visibly hates no one. She is easy to be with and can gel with almost everybody. This is a tough one because we all have that category of people whom we just can’t mingle with. But she can be friends with any kind. Maybe she is so comfortable in her skin and doesn’t care if people judge her or not. Niether does she judge people that much.
She is not an overthinker. She never judges people harshly. Infact her mind is such that she doesn’t make rigid, unchangeable opinions about people. Its the positives she concerntrates on.
She is smart and hardworking. She is doing what she likes and she is in the competition with people around her but she focuses more on her growth.
She is a no nonsense person too. She is bold but not aggressive or unmindfully rude.
She is a great listener and she is genuinely interested in what you are talking. She is a giver and always lifts your spirit through heartfelt compliments.
She is a problem solver. She is calm and keeps in thinking ways to get work done effectively. She is flexible and works on task in hand.
Overall, a pleasing personality who strides through life with grace and unmatched goodness. She faces setbacks and dissappointments but you can’t ever see it on her face as she is always so courteous and cool. You can’t help but marvel how effortlessly she handles things and how refreshingly charming she is.
