Social Development

What makes a human being?

The responses varies from cultural, scientifically, religiously, and philosophically aspects.

However, one cannot overlook the importance of the social development a person must have in order to function necessarily within the community he/she is inhabiting in.

I say this because these are the ones that are bullied constantly for being different and not "normal".

These are the ones that parents cry, day and night, struggling to understand their own children's frustrations trying to fit within their environment whether that is in the academics, physical, emotional, or spiritual world.

Do you see how difficult it is to fit a puzzle piece to a pair that doesn't quite match its protruding sides? How do you force a rubik's cube to fit in a puzzle board?

I say all this because there is a stigma whether you want to turn a blind eye to it or not does not diminish the reality that exists out there.

This stigma that stains the mind to think repulsive almost repugnant to even associate with someone who is "different" no matter what separates them from the "normal" ones.

The ones that may seem a bit difficult to speak to because of the temperament of that individual has a short fuse that lights up inexplicably and for no simple reasons.

Do you realize the complexities that the individual must be facing within themselves?

The questions they find difficult to answer yet alone to ask audibly to someone they can confide in?

The reality is that we can all learn how to be less of an iGeneration and go back to the roots; to become a community that has each other's wellbeing in mind rather than a world of an egocentric view that only pays attention after its fill of vain approval from others.
