I have stumbled upon this site [link] and I was wondering if I could vote too and comment. But as I read on, it was just for people who will be voting in the same country it was pertaining to.

No offense meant to anyone but I believe that what the parents teach and instill on a child will be brought upon by the child until the day he/she dies. Only, when the child is old enough to make their own choices are those beliefs, culture , values, tradition gets altered. I am saddened by this site.

I grew up in a family with Roman Catholic as a religion, been to a Catholic school almost all of my school days, taught exclusively by nuns and priests during my pre-school years, and was brought up with the necessary values in life that would empower me through life.

As I grew up, I was free to make my own choices under the guidance, love and care of my parents, me peers and my guardians. I was also exposed to the society and was active in different organizations in,around and out of the school. In my 29 years of living in this planet, I was able to meet different people with different beliefs, culture, tradition, values and religion. People from different parts of the planet and people with different attitude and upbringings. I was able to understand life fully not only with what I was brought up with, not only with my breeding and my education but with constant realization that LIFE is important no matter how you live it. I went on surviving all these years by learning from my own mistakes and of others. I make my own choices not only because of my upbringing but because I take humanity as something to be respected. I have the free will on anything and everything but there are times that I also have to think of other people.

I learned to accept life as it is by simply being me. I started loving myself and respecting it fully. I accepted the fact that there are things in life that come and go, that there are people who need others to live while some people prefer to be alone. In shot, I learned to accept life and everything that comes with it.

WE make our own choices. but when we do, we shouldn’t blame other people if the outcome turns out bad. What our life becomes is often than not because of how we stir our own wheels.

People of the third sex our also human. They have every right to live in this world. Why can’t some people just live and let live?
