Proverbs around the corner

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive tons of shit."

Discrimination

Well, I don't like racism and discrimination, but I do them both. I don't like people who are arrogant or just simply stupid. I discriminate people who come from countryside to UB. Taxi drivers nowadays are mostly people from rural areas, who came here looking for better life. They do not know the city, thus it is a great pain taking taxi with such drivers, you have to show every move, turn, and street to them. Then again, their cars are so dirty, as they used to in their villages. Not even close to standard of norms.

I discriminate and call people "rednecks" whenever I see funny and nonconformist behavior. I believe, if you're from rural areas and settling in the city, you should learn to behave like urban citizen. Am I that bad?

But then peole discriminate me because of my looks. Are they bad too? How can we overcome such problems, when we, ourselves, discrimnate others because of their looks, gender, interests, or something that we don't like and see as abnormal? Or should be strive to overcome it or just accept it as well as one of the undividable traits?
Dilemma...

Comment. Not all urban citizens have good manners. As long as I remember, the downtown located apartment where I've been living for 30 years always has had a problem of "public toilet" and broken windows. Urban people polluted the rivers near the city and destroyed everything they see.

In the countryside, rural people never pee near the place they live and destroy temples etc. Rural people are indeed learning from us, urban people. Unfortunately, we, urban people, are very bad teachers. We should first learn to behave good citizens.
Shortly to say, we should talk about ourselves before blaming others.
