Have you ever thought what you would do if an angel landed in your yard? How would you treat it? In A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings, they showed him no respect or honor. That just really bothers me. They locked him in a barn and he was treated like an animal.
I think regular everyday people could relate to this. Just because he was different, they treated him like a circus animal. Today's society is so vicious. There are "cliques" of people in which each person is exactly the same, and they think others should be just like them.
Just because someone is different or looks odd doesn't mean they should be treated different. What really counts is whats on the inside. It really makes me mad sometimes when I see someone in high school is mistreated just because there different.
You should think about this the next time you go to pick on someone. It could be a test from God. That weird kid sitting by himself at lunch could be that angle that landed in your "yard". Just think about it. What are you going to do?
I really liked your use of a question to begin your blog. I also believe you were spot on with your description of today's cliques. I agree with everything you had to say.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of this! my favorite part was the rhetorical question at the end.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this post! Love the question at the end
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your views on cliques and judgement. It would be amazing if people would stop and take the time to judge what's on the inside, rather than just the exterior. But is that a realistic hope of today's generation?
