In My World Being different is a Good thing

I keep hearing that I am not the norm… I am different… I take pride in being different.  How am I different, well apparently my acceptance of others and their life styles.

I cannot imagine others in this day and age not being acceptant of others.  It seems the more we come forward the more we go backwards lately.  What I fought and so many at my age fought to have the right to be different, there seems to be an unlay of still wanting to be the same and making others that maybe square fit into the round hole.

In some ways I am still innocent and have my colour rose glasses on, as I see each person as an idividual and accept them for their differences as well as their similiarities to society.  I base my friendships on their personality and not their gender, kinks or status in life.  Acceptance to me, does not mean I have to like all that they like or dislike, it means I have to live with myself and my beleifs and whether they fit into my comfort zones.  Even if I feel uncomfortable with someones ways, and even if I am not friends with them, does not mean I cannot accept them for who they are, it just means I don’t hang with them.

My expectations are often dislussuoned within a group of people who fought for their rights to be who they are and have society accept them, and then I hear even within these groups there is a low tolerence of others who are different themselves.  It does not make sense to me at all, and I have a hard time understanding why.

So I am different, I am proud to be different and I know if I had not been different many of the people I call friends and loved ones, would not be in my life and I would have missed out on so much love and great friendships.

    Nice and concise article, many things i never knew. . . We never know how much talent is devastated this way.

  4. You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and found most individuals will go along with with your website.

  5. I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

    Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks

  7. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre expressing. I realize what you are saying, but you just appear to have overlooked that you’ll find some other men and women in the world who see this issue for what it really is and might not agree with you. You may perhaps be turning away a decent amount of folks who might have been supporters of your blog site.

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
