Since the 1950's and the invention of pantyhose, those spidery fine, stretchy coloured leggings that need no sexy suspenders and very little support garments such as girdles has not only made an addition to fashion but also has changed the way we look at things.
I contended that pantyhose was not only the forerunner of 'one size fits all' but also the reality of 'one size fits most.' How true is this? We all know the 'one size fits most' paradigm whether it be hats that swing on our heads, belts that we run out of holes or length of belt and, pantyhose. No matter how fat the belly and bum it is quite often the chubby lady or lad when purchasing extra tall or extra large pantyhose know their adipose tissue will not compact enough to fit the pantyhose without the feet dangling or the waist will end up above the abdomen or stretch to the breast or chest.
The same is the way we think about things.
Being individuals of various intellectual strengths, we all think differently. We think our favourite foods, colours, music, books, art and ways of doing things is the best. However it is only the best to us because our personal preferences are often influenced by the way we are brought up accompanied by our socio-cultural background.
In other words, 'one size fits all' is very much a case of not only being 'one size fits most' but more like 'one size fits some'. It is like pantyhose, we may plan for and hope the item will fit but the reality can be very different.
So it is with varying religious and modes of belief. There are many religions and beliefs in our world and naturally, 'one size does not fit all'. We are human individuals with many and varied differences and this is why there are indeed so many religious and belief systems.
It follows that it is rather stupid and narrow minded expecting others to follow one particular religion. Those that force others into a particular religion or belief are after power and control because they feel it is lacking in their individual lives.
It is extremely stupid threatening others who do not follow 'the one size fits all' religion.
Making horrendous threats and carrying them out against others not only puts individuals offside but also a vast number of others.
Those others are much smarter than those of the 'one size fits all religion' who appear to lack any form of humanity nor any particular form of higher intelligence at all. Most of them are all bleating sheep following others. In fact, they appear to be the disenfranchised of humanity.
Humans who are smart band together for the sake of humanity and defend all. Those who are disenfranchised in society band together to enforce their particular brand of 'one size fits all'. These disenfranchised people are not strong enough to stand on their own as individuals.
So, next time you buy a pair of pantyhose that does not fit, toss them out or use them to tie up the roses because if the size does not fit, they are useless for the reason they were intended.
Be vary careful of accepting the 'one size fits all' paradigm, use your individual intelligence to examine the truth.
