What a great picture...shows his nakedness to the world, the world he will eventually overwhelm with his beauty!

We are not weaklings. Who cares what the crowd says? They are mindless ninnies. Plenty of "ugly" people have turned their scars into stars. Punch a bully back of we end up as punching bags throughout life. Nonetheless..poem=wonderful Panagiota

- The flock is like a fine and inclusive community - But history has taught us that the human flock has its shadow sides, Panagiota ... a lot of it doesn't look pretty with today's glasses ... - Thank you so much for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

- Abandoned by the herd ... also people lose their flock occasionally, they disappear from humanity ... live in solitude, Vijay - Thank you so much for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I guess there will always be bullies, unfortunately. Simple fairy tales teach all sorts of lessons. There is beauty in uniqueness. Wonderful lesson here, A-L
