We Are Human: Loving the flaws and imperfections. Stop Bullying!

We Are Human: Loving the flaws and imperfections.

 Put a stop to bullying!

I am so tired of all the bullying and judgements that have been going on. People picking on other people just because of their weight, looks, or even likes. This week alone, I have had two of my great friends get put down because of their size. Everyone is beautiful no matter what he or she weighs or looks like. This makes me angry knowing what the media has portrayed on us. Yes.. Sometimes it is the parents fault but I mostly blame the media.

As we grow from child to adult, we see what the media portrays what people should look or act like in magazines or on TV. We ask them for sight of the world so the media gives us glasses. But the glasses they give us only shows what they want us to see. These glasses hide the so called "imperfections and flaws" that we all have. They give us false reality. It is time that we remove these glasses and put on the "Truth".





The truth is that no one is perfect and everyone has flaws. We are all not thin or model pretty as seen in the magazines. But even those girls on the magazines have flaws too. The media uses this little thing called "Photo shop" to rid their so called flaws. Also some people will go "under the knife" to change their bodies to what society and media wants to see. This is not your true self. Beauty comes from within but yet so many of us are concerned with what others see. Our "Flaws and Imperfections" make us who we are.. 
We.. Are.. Human.


We are all human... We are the same. When we get  hurt, we cry. We someone makes us upset, we get angry. We all share the same emotions. No matter who you are, what you look like, or where you are from. When we bleed, the color of our blood is red so that makes us all equal. If GOD was so called "Fat and Ugly" would you pick on him too? This could happen to your parents, siblings, and even your children now or down the road. How would you feel then? What if this was you? What do you plan to do about it?

Makes you think don't it? Makes you wonder? Be the one who makes a difference for better and don't be a bully. I love my flaws and imperfections because they make me who I really am.... Me.

MY THOUGHTS

Being a cat owner myself, anyway I can find to make cleaning the cat box process easier is always what I am looking for. I hate cleaning out the cat box but its gotta be done. I want my house to smell clean and fresh, not like a cat box. But getting back to the point... If you have ever owned a cat, then you know this process very well. In a regular cat box, you have to put fresh cat litter in, scoop out the clumps and poop, and after a a period of time, dump the whole litter out, wash out the box (Thats what I do), put your freshness powder in and then your kitty litter again. The lovely joys of this. But I what I hate the most, is having to scoop the litter.. That is disgusting!! So my husband went to Walmart to pick up some dog food for our dog and saw this on the shelf. When he came home, he told me about it and we decided to look it up online. At first I saw the price of $17.98 on it and was like.. Heck no.. I ain't paying $17.00 for a Sh*t box. Sorry for the language but that is exactly what I said.. But after looking at the reviews on it and saw the steps, I finally gave in. The instructions were poorly illustrated but after going online to look for the right steps, it actually works really good. 
Here is a YouTube link on how to properly use it: http://youtu.be/a1_7lBSYiv4 .
The good thing to this, is that... I have don't to scoop the cat box by hand. Which is wonderful!!!!! And also it is very easy to clean and changing the box is so much better with this box. But it does have its flaws. The first thing is that sometimes, no matter what type of litter you have, the screens get clogged. Just tap it on the side of your trash can to get it off but still sucks that it does get clogged ever so often. The next thing is that the box is small. My cat is a fat cat, so when she gets in the box, she doesn't have much wiggle room. And finally, the guard that comes with it (Suppose to help keep the litter in) does not snap in well and if the cat kicks it, it may fall off.

But honestly in my opinion, I do suggest that every cat owner gets one of these because this box is so much easier to clean and reduces the time to clean it out and to face the smell of the cat box. But due to these flaws stated earlier, that is why I gave it a rating of 8.0
