ACCORDING TO the famous director, Lito Casaje, we tend to look at
people more based on how they appear and not based on what is in their
hearts. I agree with him one hundred percent. Why? Well, because it
is a reality. If it is not true, no one will feel rejected.
People are rejected because of their abnormalities, religious beliefs,
issues on sexuality, or status in our society. If you have a "monstrous"
face like Quasimodo's, people will be cruel to you. They will make
fun of you. You will be the talk of the town.
But, not all people are cruel. Some people are kind-hearted. These
are the people who will accept you because of what is in your heart.
You are very lucky if you meet these kind of people.
I consider myself an outcast. I am a normal person, but some people
are very cruel to me because I am not as popular as they are. For
me, it is no big deal if they don't like me or not. But, if they insult
me, that is a different story.
If you feel rejected, you should not feel guilty about it. It is
not your fault. The problem is, the people around you are morons.
They don't understand you because they are fools. They don't care
about you. They don't care about their future. They only care about
themselves.
Think and try to analyze. As you can see, these people are ridiculous.
They think they know everything. They think they are righteous. They
think they are the most beautiful creatures on earth. But, they are
not! They are hideous creatures come from hell. They only think that
way because they also have abnormalities. They cannot find it in themselves
to accept it. They cannot accept the reality that they are weaklings.
I have a word of advice to you, my dearest friend, so lend me your
ears. Don't hide. Express yourself. Be strong and mighty as a warrior.
Prove to those idiots that you are not useless. You can do anything
even you have abnormalities. You can do many things that no one could
do. Use that courage in your heart. Then, you'll see that you are
more powerful than you expected.
