Nothing is universal is it?
Nothing.
There is no universal anything.
Universal.
No universal sense of beauty.
No universal sense of rich.
Or poor.
Or happy.
Or sad.
It’s all relative.
The only thing I thought that there might be a universal definition of.
Was a universal sense of what is right and wrong.
But I was ‘put right’ by a guy on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn.
He said LinkedIn were merging professional lives with personal lives because they included Pride colouring in the LinkedIn logo.
I said sexuality was universal as it transcended everything.
I suggested that if you were gay at home.
You were gay at work too.
He said that sexuality was not universal because his religion saw homosexuality as wrong.
We’d moved on!
Because this chap was not just saying that homosexuality is not acceptable as a subject or as a ‘thing’ at work.
This chap was saying that homosexuality is not acceptable as a subject or as a ‘thing’ anywhere.
And that was that.
A dead end.
Leave.
I did suggest the guy left LinkedIn.
Because he was so against a platform that supported a Pride ethos.
Bit he didn’t.
He’s still there.
He did teach me something though.
He taught me that Social Media spats are almost always pointless.
And I suppose he taught me that I even have to respect his point of view.
Even though I really do find his point of view yucky.
As yucky, I suppose, as he finds mine.
Universal.
So I am back to where I was.
Nothing is universal is it?
Nothing.
There is no universal anything.
