We feel out of place and weird sometimes. We feel like we need to change ourselves to fit in some unwritten but seemingly necessary standard. We turn ourselves to zombies, ignoring our needs and who we truly are in the struggle for acceptance. Because if you're not what society wants, then you are a nobody.
With this mentality, we have created for ourselves a bridge, many bridges with walls in the middle that separates one kind of people from the other. The normal/acceptable vs the Eccentric/Free thinking. Followers vs The Ones who ask questions.
The rich, the middle class, the low class and the lowest of them all - Citizens of the Bridge.
Thing is, no matter how much we struggle, we will never be really part of one of another. People might at some point learn to tolerate and accept but inside we know we're better off than the other and so even as we try to suppress our pride and wear cloaks of humility, there are only cloaks.
You're better off than her and the only miracle that can happen is hardwork and determination. You'll always be either above or below. One person has to be below to be able another person to get to the point.
There'll always be poor ugly people, rich ugly people, poor beautiful people and rich beautiful people.
The trick is to be nice to the children of the universe and the universe can only be kind to you in return.
