Acceptance is sometimes hard for someone because of how they look, think, act, or have done If they are DIFFERENT |

differences may indeed be a reason for the lack of acceptance..but they are also the variety that makes life interesting.. enjoyed! |

 (smiles) Oh Ethel, this is so very true, sweet friend! (sad sigh) I used to feel I should be like everyone else, now I realize that is really a depressing thing and I wish now to be myself and to celebrate the differences and special unique beauty in everyones heart! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you speak with pure wisdom, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

People just love labeling people alright. I think we are even guilty of doing it to ourselves. Thinking someone would not like us because we weren't rich enough, smart enough, cute enough...whatever enough *S* You words ring oh so true ~Salty In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

Capt. Ron, Oh yeah, wouldn't it be boring if everyone was exactly alike? Thanks for replying. Nancy Lee, Thank you, friend. "Love makes the world go around" |

Soleil, Yep, I like your way better, too. Thanks for reading and replying.... Noah, Yeah, friend, let's always be ourselves, and if people don't like us, that's their loss. Right?? "Love makes the world go around" |

Dixie, My Dad needs to read it, too......but he probably wouldn't heed to it if he did read it. We have had arguments over his not accepting people who are somewhat different than he is. Guess that's where my strong objections to this mind set comes from. There aren't many of my friends throughout my life that my Dad approved of.  Salty, Yeah, I've been somewhat guilty of that in the past, but (with Gary's help) am gradually getting to where I don't let what other people think about me bother me so much. Old habits are hard to break, though, and I find myself wanting to please others before "Me", sometimes. (especially my parents)  "Love makes the world go around" |

MidnightSon, No, I never saw that movie. It sounds like a good one, though. Raph, Yeah, wouldn't it be a nicer world if everyone thought this way? "Love makes the world go around" |
