I am what I am - that is part of my evolution. What you perceive me as - that is part of your evolution.

Once I was able to understand that the world is not about me and that I
am just a spec in its dust, then I was able to truly value the
indifferences of others.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those
who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and
have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an
appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills
them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful
people do not just happen." - Elisabeth Kubler Ross.
