On Different Ones
The different ones deserve to be accepted.
Being different, not just in terms of intelligence or specialty or genuineness, by being different, I am talking about the ones to whom people say misfits. When people call someone a misfit, they mean that person, that person is not like everybody else, like the majority, like the individuals they see in their daily lives, so it is hard to resonate with that person, so difficult to understand who they are.
The world, the society, the communities, and the families, don’t usually accept the different ones, the misfits among them. They wholeheartedly criticize the different ones and say bad words about them. They force, put pressure, and try so hard to convert the different ones into the majority. And when they do that, the only thing that happens is the internal destruction of different ones. They get wounds no one can see and they suffer. Some give up and try to adjust to being accepted. Others walk away and find their tribe to be among those where they truly belong.
It is so hard to be different, harder when you can’t go away from ones who don’t accept you, and you don’t give up on being different, on being who you truly are. The world needs every type of person. The different ones here are equally important just like the majority. So if you cannot accept a different one, if you lack the ability to understand them, please don’t say rubbish about them and let them live in peace. Because the different ones never ever tell the majority to be like them. And so, nobody has any right to reject the different ones.
