I vowed to myself to never post again except the clear nail polish, what panties are we wearing right now, the thrill of underdressing, and pictures. You know the important stuff. I was fed up with those who could read a thread and magically know my personality faults and gleefully state them. But this is too good to not share.
I was OUT enfemme last night. At a sub shop for a fast dinner. There was one other person who shared the same ethnicity as I and that person was one of three behind the counter. The others did not share that trait. I always try to be sensitive to anyone that is a minority because they may be feeling a little insecure. And kindness is what I did not get in my childhood when I was one of the minority. One of the customers was having a great time loudly laughing at my expense. It is the first time that this has happened to me, but with the way I look I am surprised it doesn't happen more. What the heck, I am spreading a little humor and cheer, or so I thought. I had my meal in an otherwise uneventful manner. The person with the over active funny bone left and through the cold rain, in the slushy snow, walked the distance back to the what was likely to be the meager abode from whence she came. That area only has meager abodes, BTW. Sadly she might never venture far from the area her whole life. Maybe never learning that her view of the world is limited to her immediate area. Sad.
But I am having a good time! No one is going to rain on my parade. Well maybe the geniuses who can read one post and tell you your faults regardless of any evidence to the contrary.
Where was I......
So I walked out of the shop. And I heard someone call my name. I looked back and it was one of the employees, one who did not share that trait with me. She handed me a post it note. It said:
"Billy,
Thank You for
braving a world that can be
so hateful to anything
non-traditional. I have
friends afraid to be themselves.
Thank you for the hope."
I walked back inside the restaurant with her while telling her what a beautiful person she is for doing that and caring for her friends. I gave her a brochure for our Group, "The Grand Illusions" and suggested she give it to her friends. I hugged her and told her that maybe this was the whole reason I was alive to that moment and that she made my day. And again that she was a beautiful person. I am going to go back and give her an envelope full of brochures and places her friends can find support and camaraderie.
Now the reason I even mentioned the traits was so you could see the magnanimity of what she did, offering kindness to someone in the minority, me.
No matter what we all may think, we really are responsible for each other's happiness. Not a big part of it, but the small parts add up. Things like lifting off the gas pedal instead of running up on someone's back bumper. Even being kind, helpful, and treating each other with civility on this forum. I have been trying to help CDers on this forum, with our Group, and any way I can. This time the planets aligned and I was in the right place. I am never going to give up helping. Maybe not exposing myself to unkind and judgmental posts. After this one anyway.
BTW some wit is going to post something like "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" as a way to justify the all powerful who in reading one post seem to have a clear inside to someone's personality defects and therefore are entitled to state so in any rude manner they choose. Perhaps they don't understand the meaning of civility. A sorely missed commodity today. That laugher was missing civility to.
I am doing my part for a better world. Are you?
It's great to know that there is Hope when in your everyday life of work and such you see so little. I don't know who scorned you over your postings but it surely isn't right. Hopefully you reported them to the Mods and we can get vile, self centered, know it alls out of our community. People with nothing but hate in their heart have no place here nor should they have a place in society. We deal with enough of it daily.
