It wasn't even race mixing. It was inspired by Lovecraft, WASP extraordinaire, discovering his grandmother (maternal, IIRC) was Welsh. THE TERROR IS REAL. AND SLIGHTLY DAMP.

Also apparently "Wales/Welsh" means foreigner!  Their own name would be Brythoniaid but who cares what they said.

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

It's just evolutionary conditioning to make sure everyone stays on their toes, albeit as an edgy teenager.

I feel incredibly bored today. Nothing really that I feel like doing. Just feeling apathy and lying in bed.

Uwwaahhh

My parents are the worst at this. They're generally nice people, but heaven forbid they see someone on TV who's gay/transwhatever/has a religion other than Christian/doesn't go to church/comes from a poor family/uses "bad language"/is in any way slightly deviant from what they're used to...

M'kay. So I've been feeling a trifle crummy lately. I like to  take walks just about everyday, and today was no exception. So I was just, y'know, walking on my way when I spotted… her. She was an old lady, at least seventy, with gray hair and wrinkles and the like. She was in a wheelchair. Now, I know that this isn't exactly the most unusual thing to see a person in; plenty of people are stuck in wheelchairs, and some have been stuck in them for their entire lives. That's just it though.

I reached this nice, steep, steep, steep hill that I like to go jogging up. I was about to start when my mind turned to the old invalid. Surely she would be unable to enjoy such a jog in her condition. And what about those who have been in a crippled condition for all of their lives. They would never have such a privileged opportunity as mine. This made me quite distraught, knowing full-well that such a defect could very well have afflicted me had the circumstances of my formation and birth been different.

As I sat down, I began to wonder about the other things that could plague a person. There are those who will never hear the laughs of children, the conversations of their friends, the beautiful music that we as people have composed. There are those who will never see the beauty of a flower, the smile of a mother, or the moon in the Night's sky. And what of all the other birth defects a person can have. It is estimated that seven babies are born a second. How many of them will be born with the cleft lip? With the blindness? With the gay? With the Down's? With the autism? All these horrible things that have, by the LORD's Grace, missed me, will in turn affect someone else's life.

"Why must these things happen?" I am left to wonder. The LORD allows such terrible things to occur to people from their very birth. Is it our penance for the crimes of our forebears Adam and Eve? Perhaps we deserve it, for perverting our own nature by willing defying God and allowing Sin to enter into the world.

Not something I usually like to think about, because it's pretty sad when you do. :(

That's like exposing somebody to radiation for a few seconds and expecting them to mutate into Spider-Man.

-snip-
They say when you lose a sense, your other ones become stronger. A deaf person might not hear speech, but they can read the subtleties of sign language very readily. A blind person can still hear and feel, and doesn't miss colours or any visual beauty; there's no point in wanting what you can't have. One should make the most of what they're given, and see their flaws as opportunities to become better at other things. An autist might not read social cues or the thoughts and emotions of others very well, but that leaves room for introspection and independence.

I assure you, a person born mute or blind or deaf or crippled or with Down's or autistic or anything else isn't any less capable of happiness than anyone else. Their happiness is simply different. And that is true for everyone, even people without 'conditions'. Be happy with what you have, make the most of it, and help others do so as well. Maybe they will help you too.


(Note: You mentioned 'being born with the gay' as a horrible thing. I disagree on several levels, but let's not talk about that.)

I could fill an entire Rage thread with the myriad ways in which the people I live with make me angry.
Since we don't have a Rage thread these days, I think I'll go buy some cheap junk food and comfort eat instead.
