Warren Miller Quote: "You are a unique person, just like everybody else!!"

Why be concerned with transparency People are blind, they really can’t see With distortion and illusion in the word today And bias and lies in what people say Just be who you are, one of a kind The truth will totally blow their mind They’ll be so confused trying to figure you out Their miscalculations will still leave them doubt They’ll still try to mold you and make you conform For uniqueness to them is the start of a storm The fullness of creation will never be complete If we all march together to one single beat No one can truly know all of another The closest possibility would be one’s mother

' People are blind, they really can’t see. ' Sometimes ! I think many choose not to see the real you. So sad, indeed. I completely agree, always being true to who you are. So nice to read your words again, my Texas friend. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Amen! Negative people tend to judge someone only by their mistakes, or even just a single mistake. There's so much more to the human equation. We all have our unique assets. Nice sonnet

well said, Tom. Mistakes shouldn't define us. I learned a great deal about the 'human equation' while teaching high school English lit and poetry. Students at that age are entirely human, sometime annoyingly so. Gotta love 'em anyway. I ramble. Thanks for your kind comments.
