You'll be surprised to find that the most incredible angels heaven created was found to be quite unable to fly.

Mood: Whole and holy.

One thing I have learned in the year 2006, if nothing else, is that each and every one of us are special in our own ways.

I don't care if you have been put down by every body you have come in contact with or if you think you are the scum of the deep sea. There is something in you that are better than any body's else, something that is entirely your own – may it be the ability to see though the walls or burp in 3 different octaves.

I assure you, no one has it all, and no one has none at all. Yes, some may have multi-facet talents; some may have only one intense uniqueness. We all have it, different specialties that when come together will complete a picture.

You may think the talent you possessed is one of the useless; you just have not found your click yet.

The world cannot operate if every one thinks the same, or possess the same ability. There won't be any balance in the world. Imagine, the whole world full of nothing but businessmen who can only think of buying and selling and make profit: who is going to cook for them? who is going to create products for them to market? who is going to fix their toilet? or clean up their trash? who are they going to buy or sell to if there are no consumers (also know as the idiots who buy)? What if the whole world is nothing but Kings? Who will serve them? How about a world that full of nothing but servants? Who will they serve to? Can you imagine the whole world full with nothing but socialists? Or nothing but fascists? Or communists? If everyone is a conservative, we will never move forward. And if everybody is a liberal, we will never have any stability and the society will be spinning constantly if not erratically, because everybody will want change – all the time.

It is the variety that creates the balance. It is the balance that graces us with the freedom. And it is the freedom that offers us the variety.

Never let anyone put you down because you are different or think differently. And most importantly, never put yourself down, ever. It doesn't matter who you are, I bet I can find at least 3 things that make people envious of you.

May you find your balance, take pride in your variance and find your freedom in the year to come. Happy Holidays.
