Big-sized Issue

Whenever people associate the word "big-size", it always comes with negative connotations like ugly, fat, mean, hideous, clumsy and so on. How come?

It all makes sense when you just observed a little. Look around.

Because of the social norm or rather pressure for petite figure, and also thanks to mass advertising or commercial for slimming products and services, making big-sized people feel more intimidated or rather made them feel small on the inside.

oh no ...

I have noticed that people who are big-sized have somewhat of a psychologically disorder, feeling somewhat short-changed. Though you see them big, they may not be as big hearted, nor big in their pockets not even big in their hugs.

Always the same question pops up, "WHY ME?".

Mentally disorder sets in.

From survey for current job market, beautiful people have higher chance to secure a job. Well, that's explainsed. It's always an advantage if you ask me. Bosses like you more, customers love you more, even your friends love you even more.

Is being big a crime? If not, how come people feel happy when keep on consuming high calories, high colesterol food produce; yet sad or lousy at the same time when being labeled "BIG". You are what you eat anyway.

It's lame, and it's stupid. I even noticed a fat woman called another big woman as fat. Duh~

In actual fact, nobody love big-sized people.

It's a social crisis. Intimidated people who are deprived, will generally excel in other areas, normally using either the good method or bad means to the end (usually bad cos it's easier). It's just plain sad when talking (if you managed to out-talk them) to these people on this issue, you will end up suffering internal bleeding more often than not. Save your breath, keep your pressure low, brother. You can't talk sense to these people.

So, I guess slimming companies mushrooming in the state has comewhat being saviour to these "under-priviledged" people. Not just that, an economy booster to the slowing economy would be a much more positive outlook to this. But the funny part is, not big-sized people patron, but those who has shirt label "XS" (denotes extra-small) go.

Why is that? I once asked a big-sized fellow. You know what answer I got, "Aiyah, kiasu-lah these people." or "What?! You think I am fat ah? HAH! I don't need it."

See, denial. No cure then. How to help?
