Does It Matter When One Is Different From Us?

Diversity of life. This ensures that each of one us is totally unique. Not that exactly unique anyway. There are similarities between us which tends to make us being grouped under certain category. Therefore those who deviates from the norm would be considered as - different.

Sometimes it's not easy to accept somebody who is different from us. We ourselves may be comfortable with the difference, whether subtle or significant, but others may not. Society's preception may hinder us from embracing those that are different from us.

Then how do you react if the one you love happens to be the one? The different one for that matter. Would you just accept for what one it is without caring for less what others may look for us, despite the ardous journey ahead? Or would you just choose not to acknowledge the difference that may arise?

The bottom line is : does it matter that much when one is supposedly different?
