I dislike orphans - does that make me a bad person?

I'd say it depends more on the askers definition of orphans. Everyone whose parents have died (even from old age) are orphans so at some point even the asker of the question will be an orphan. Does that mean they will hate themselves equally?

Not likely. So yes, it makes you a bad person to hate someone else as it only identifies a weakness in your own personality. Perhaps you'd benefit from counseling to determine why your mind had isolated a specific group of people based on an arbitrary, self-serving definition.

Some people think that if you have less pigment in your skin it makes you smarter or if you have more pigment it makes you better at sports. Thinking that way doesn't make their conclusions correct nor their belief valuable. It's just a personal distinction based on fantastic notions created in the mind of the observer perpetuated by mob mentality.

I'm reminded of the story of the man who spent most of his life and lost his health fighting dandelions growing in his yard. One day he was no longer stressed and the dandelions were flourishing in his yard, out of control. S neighbor asked what he was going to do about the weeds and he replied with a smile, "what weeds?

All I see are pretty yellow flowers. " So to the "soon to be orphaned orphan hater" I say, it's all a matter of perspective. Look in the mirror if you want to find the real problem.

Call it Ego if you want to understand why you even think your opinion on the matter is even important. Either way, internal introspection and proper counseling will solve your dilemma, or become a foster parent and solve the problem by taking responsibility for the definition of Orphan and doing something productive about it. That would make you a good person again.

Depends what is the definition of bed person, and are you treating them worse because of it.

No, it doesn't you are entitled to your own opinion. But you have to ask also yourself what makes you dislike orphans. What are in orphans that does not appeal to you.Is it their dependence or their helplessness, or you think they are burden to society.

Sometimes there are things that we dislike in other people because subconsciously we have them which we do not like. It is called "mirroring". On the other hand, there are some people we tend to like or attract us because there are qualities that we possess which we like that we can identify or find in them.

The same thing as those we dislike. So, I think it would be best to do some self-examination. If you do this and the above-things I mentioned is not true with you, then I think you just plainly dislike orphans and you are entitled to think that for this is a free country, everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
