I wonder what it would be like if we just accepted people as they were? Actually - all life as it is. What if we didn’t try to squeeze people into our own particular boxes, the wild world into our plaything.

What if curiosity was the first response rather than fear?

We learn these things from our parents and the society they belong to. Our innate curiosity is replaced by the norms handed down to us.

The fear is a crisis of control by those who seek to control all. To allot acceptance or rejection. The idea that people might be allowed to be just who they feel themselves to be is anathema.

I am so tired of this centuries-long attempt of the few to control the many.
