I M Perfect lady

True Being.

I loved this talk.  He opens us all, inviting us into the complex experiences of those who appear different.  Their challenges are really ours to accept.

Brilliant and articulate!

My upbringing within a cult-like religion, who cast aside anyone who was of a different faith, schooled me for sameness.  

And, how sameness equaled special, saved, better than.

It made me one of the worst kinds in humanity, where difference was not allowed.

When I too was cast aside for my abuse or my speaking of it, or for my seeing the churches hand in blessing it; allowed me to live as "different". 

Being Different has made me accepting.

While I would not want to re-live the past again, I would give nothing for my journey today.  

What I know for certain, It isn't the "Different" among us who are creating a negative world, but those who can't see them in their true being.

    Exactly. So many people who spout hatred for those that are different use religion to back them up. It’s sad. It’s hurtful. And makes our society regress.

    Dawn, it is amazing to see from Andrew’s eyes as he writes about not only himself, but those he interviewed. Interesting to note, who is bringing the negative energy, it isn’t those who are different, but those who will not accept.
    Who knew, that non-accepting would carry such weight in the lives of so many.
    And, I know, it will be those who don’t accept the non-acceptance of others and shine anyway, that will change the world.
    We can’t make them accept, but we can rise above their non-acceptance!
