Bravery of One

Sometimes it is amazing to see who people can be. The type of people who appear fearless and strong. Something as simple as having a genuine conversation with someone who most people ignore. It inspires me to witness something like this. For most of us, we pass by these people who seem strange and socially awkward. In fact, most of us go out of our way to avoid them. I am guilty of this. Almost everyday I refuse to sit at a table which is full of people I judge as abnormal. However, these people are just being themselves, while the rest of us are pretenders. When I see a pretender shake off this label and become Christ-like by making an effort with someone who is different, I am jealous. It is a weakness to hide in our own bubble, and so I wish that we all had the strength to reach out. It is something I wish to work on. Someone today stepped out and it amazed me.
