I became popular. Well, amongst the girls.
Sounds like your complaining that it was the girls who liked you! :D
I feel the injustices done to you by the society during your childhood. How fickle society's perceptions are can be also seen from the things done in WWII, and many other wars, for that matter. Raising awareness that we are all human and that skin color or religion or nationality are just superficial things is important for our global culture and well-being.
If you think a minute about religions, for example, it is actually easy to conclude that most of them is actually pretty much the same: there is someone/something out there that created us and is watching us, if we behave well we will have a good afterlife, if we do bad things we will have a bad afterlife. How cares is the name Buddha or Allah, Bible or Quran, Paradise or Valhalla?
Cheers! : )
I did say, "Good times to be sure" also :)
Yes, and although agnostic on the matter, if there is something out there judging us, I will err on the side that it will not be too harsh on those doing the best they can and, if there is nothing out there, I will have lived doing the best I can. Is or not, doesn't change my actions.
