You laugh at me

"you laugh at me because
I am different,
I laugh at you because
you are all the same"

I've had a few times in my life when people looked at me or some of things that I've done, like I came from another planet. (that might be true)

It amazes me that we have this herd mentality that wants to constantly define what is normal. Mostly we seem to feel safe if everything is bland and the same. Anything or anyone who doesn't meet our internal image of normal, (some) have a tendency to redicule and reject.

And yet the truth is that, it is usually those who don't meet our normal standards who do the really great things in this world. They are the artists, the builders and the inventors. They are ones who end up inspiring the masses. Look at Jesus, they nailed him to a cross because he was preaching a different belief (love). That just wasn't normal!

I've been giving some thought about the meaning to me. My inspiration for this weekend is open my mind and heart to those who are different. Actually, that's not that hard (you haven't met my friends).
