I was gonna pick up the "pen" again and write you a literary work, but instead i chose this maybe someone can help me understand

Preconception: an opinion formed beforehand without adequate evidence.

The last few months of my depression have made me realize the worlds biggest weakness at hand would have to be that of preconceptions. Have you ever stopped to think about this matter?

I have, and the fact of the matter is people are loosing the ability to think experientially.

Is a disabled person not a person?

Can a blind man see?

Are drugs bad?

someone who is a genius must be a nerd?


These are just some of millions of preconceptions the people of today hold. I think you should really take a moment and ponder this a second. Is a human a human.

Most people for one don't really understand that some of the most brilliant people in times past because they were different were perceived clinically insane.

I guess this is where i lead into my story:

I was born with a physical handicap as most would call it Cerebral Palsy. In my case it isn't that noticeable but yet enough for people to consider one different. And through preconceptions one gathers from there parents a friend or someone close to them they begin to fall into this state of mind that i must be different. (is a human a human?) It has led me down a dark road to hear people say i would never date someone like that or gross. It takes its toll on an individual.

I could go on for hours but thats not my goal I want individuals to make the choice for them selfs you see. Because the fact is you don't see what I see hence you perceive it differently. Hence I'm not forcing you into another preconception. I just want you think for one second what this means to you:

Is a Human a Human?

playwright - March 21st, 2007 It might give you a little hope to know that when I look at people, I see what they do and say; I see what they intend, not what they can't control. Everyone has faults... that's why it's important to have compassion. Because everyone know what it feels like to fail or fall short some way. You're not alone, bud.

anonymous - August 01st, 2008 Oh, cool, I love your story! I wrote a blog of that, but to me, when I look at a field of assorted flowers,I see people, just like, flowers come in different colors, sizes, shapes and kind, we do too.Thats why I called it "Flowers and Preconception" I mean it's just more beautiful when we all get together and look pass our differences,a field of assorted flowers is just as beautiful and amazing then a field of just the same kind,we all are humans, and a human is a human, no matter what he or she looks like, thinks like,feel like, etc. And I agree with playwright.
