For wolves among sheep: Did it never occur to anyone, that the wolf in sheeps clothing only ever wanted to fit in? But wouldnt it be wonderful if the wolf could be loved and accepted in its own skin? For all they know, this little wolf is a vegetarian... The first Councillor I had was useless.: all she could do was tell me things I already knew... That I fear rejection That my problems are stemmed from me childhood She told me that I had a choice: to either reign myself in and feel accepted, or pay the price... I chose ... ME I am intense, I am ambivalent, I am Dark, and all Ive ever wanted was to be loved and FREE To sacrifice my freedom for the masses acceptance, I would be sacrificing my own freedom, my own values, my own SENSE OF SELF... I DO love myself. I DO love who I am. I LIKE her, this she-wolf... What I DONT like is the rejection I receive....Ive always been aware there is a price to pay for being different. But I believe the world should be a place where everyone accepts differences and imperfections. Where the world can be interesting and extraordinary. That progress comes from thinking differently, and true art , music, and masterpieces comes from THINKING, SEEING, and FEELING differently... I believe in this world. I believe that being different is a GOOD thing. That to live my ones beliefs , while hurting no one, despite rejection, is a HEROIC thing. It hurts. It is lonely. But it is true. And only by accepting oneself, will one find those alike, and will one help to change the world, and make it a more accepting place. RESPECT, LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, TOLERANCE, COMMUNICATION, TRUST, HAPPINESS, and BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF...these are what I believe in. I believe in living by your values, as an example top others. I believe I cannot expect people to live by my values, but I can expect them to RESPECT them. Everyone needs to do what they feel is right, as long as it doesnt hurt other people. I believe it is wrong to: FORCE YOU BELIEFS ONTO OTHERS. BE CRUEL GIVE UP DO NOTHING WEAR SHEEPS CLOTHING (unless you really want to) I like my values. They ring true. They feel right. Why should I change myself, or lock myself down to please others? This way of living is not truly living...it is surviving. Being human IS LIVING, THINKING, FEELING, being DIFFERENT Animals, survive....we can chose to to the same....but to do so is wasting our most precious gift and asset: our SOUL... I respect TRUE martyrs: those that live by their values despite being isolated and mocked by all their peers, even killed and tortured. I respect vigilantes who do what they believe in, when our justice system does nothing, and I respect those artists, philosophers, scientists and other brilliant minds that were ABOVE their times, and could see further than others around them. Most brilliant people have mental/emotional disorders:they are able to see things in a way that other people just cant. Their eyes are open to new possibilities. They take what is their UNIQUE thoughts, feelings and talents, and turn them into something BRILLIANT!!! Examples of people who didnt fit in, but who are celebrated today: JESUS, GANDHI, VAN GOGH, EINSTEIN, SOCRATES, JULIUS CAESAR, PHARAOH HATSHEPSUT, ALBERT EINSTEIN etc... These people were advanced beyond their times. They were different. Brilliant. THEY MADE A DIFFERENCE!!! Famous fictional characters have made similar sacrifices: SUPERMAN, SPIDER-MAN... ****MOST FICTIONAL SUPERHEROES ARE CELEBRATED FOR SAVING MAN KIND: BUT THEY ALL LIVED LONELY, ISOLATED LIVES. AND AT ONE POINT OR OTHER: THE MASSES TURNED AGAINST THEM FOR BEING DIFFERENT. STAN LEE ONCE WROTE: WITH GREAT POWER COME GREAT RESPONSIBILITY Well those of us who are different, have a responsibility to be true to ourselves; to shoulder the hurt and rejection, forgive those who mock us, and always stand tall. BY BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES, AND BY CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES: WE MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER AND MORE INTERESTING PLACE. I REFUSE to change who I am. If I become hurtful, cruel, or anything that goes against my values, I will change these for the better: but i will not live like a robot;, a bland piece of the masses, with no color, no personality of my own... Ive tried that path, and have not succeeded, Nor was I happy... I will forge my OWN path....it will be hard. It will be lonely. But I will, nay, MUST BE STRONG. I encourage, and support all those who seek to do the same. I will try to respect those who prefer to live in the gray obscurity: and I ask that you do the same for us: RESPECT that we ARE different, and LIKE it that way. Lets all respect each other I am not perfect: I too judge others, and I too can be hurtful, and mean, and dis-honest. But I fight every day to break these bad habits. And I accept them as part of human nature...but I am determined to RISE ABOVE THEM!!! There is human NATURE...then there is the human MIND... There is SOCIETY...then there is HEART, and RAW EMOTIONS... There is INSTINCT... and there is NEED... WHICH WILL YOU CHOSE? There is no wrong answer...but there is RESPECT for others choices...and YOUR OWN. RESPECT YOURSELF. RESPECT OTHERS. RESPECT NATURE. RESPECT HIGHER POWERS. RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT and LOVE... oh! To be loved, understood,respected and accepted by others: to live and be yourself, and be FREE, but not have to be ALONE... that... is.... my.... only.... wish....
