Are we really that special?

[Stargazer1965]

No problems LH....You are an excellent wordsmith.

There is so much that I know and so much left to go.....I suffer from the incurable ego problem and I take every opportunity to sit in the back seat and let someone else drive that knows the way.

I'm picking up the scenery as I go.....

I feel special and different but I have a story that seems to dovetail with yours but on the other side of the looking glass.

I was the kid with the pencil stuck in my eye...I was second shortest kid in my 8th grade class (now 6.2) and constantly the target of mindless childhood catholic school violence.

I went to public school for the first 4 grades and had friends and was respected by my peers...I had the nickname of "The Brain"

I'm a sponge when it comes to facts and have a memory that holds images for a very long time. I have always been as I am now....different

I guess the wall they put in my head must have a peep hole cause I've been called an "old soul" since I was little.

After 4th grade my parents put me into the catholic school system....And they thought the Spanish Inquisition was over.....it just moved to the KY catholic school system

I would not have treated a dog like I was treated....spit on...beat up...humiliated

I did not come out of the fog of pain until I was in my mid-20s

It's really ironic but one of the worst bullies is preparing to run for Mayor of my fair town....Appropriate huh??

I can't feel all too special and I feel like a hypocrite talking about spirituality and feeling one with you all.

I've always been apart but I don't want to be that way forever.....maybe my day is coming

Walk away from the pain and anger.....and grow some higher understanding.

Peace
