Maybe Current Mood: Sick

Maybe if you felt the hate, and the pain that comes from being hated for being who you are, then perhaps you could accept that not everyone is the same. One is told that they should be them selves, yet to be different is often not okay. When the one you love the most tells you they are not the same, do not make them feel ashamed, because after awhile, they wont be able to take the pain and its not a choice, its just how they are. Why should one change how they are? To please anothers believes? Do not feel that you should agree with every belief just please respect everyone despite the differences, try to create a world of love and not of hate. When one says such things you make one feel like shit they feel like they are less than human like they dont deserve to live, so when I say you shouldnt hate its good for you too, because when those you hate are dead because they couldnt take the pain, youll have to live with the rest of your life this pain spoken of its this kind of pain that makes people ashamed and afraid tell people what they are even those that love them. So once again maybe if you felt the hate and the pain that comes from being hated for being who you are then maybe you would accept that others are different, and not make them feel such pain.
