People are being deprived and isolated of their brotherhood simply based on their differences.

Our actions are driven by our want to succeed.

Teenagers have a habit of not understanding that people feel differently than them. The world is so small at this age, it’s hard to imagine people have different thoughts and triggers etc. Thu, 28 Jan 2021 13:58:56 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2296908 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2296908 If I had only looked at the next paragraph... the poet beat me to it! :) Wed, 27 Jan 2021 18:24:59 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2296906 https://nowcomment.com/documents/251070?scroll_to=2296906 Naturally "uncertain," has a negative connotation. I ask the reader to put aside past experience for only a moment. The future may be unknown- but it could be better. Tomorrow could be better than yesterday. 2021 could be better than 2020. I propose we stop saying things are uncertain- and start saying things are yet to be found.

I feel as though the poet seems to have some religious trauma- as her speakings of it are rather enclosing.

After the horrible year we've been through, we need someone to step up and really clean up our act. I have hope that Biden will stick to his plans/policies.

Lucien's speech patterns are immediately picked up and make it easy for those uninterested to ignore his sentiment. So what happens when someone who struggles with communication has something really important to say? Someone- who really cares- listens. This monologue, delivered in the format of a daydream or fantasy, is real. This is what Lucien says. This is what he feels. This conversation is not a fantasy of Lucien's, but rather a exploited form of what he's saying. It's what the congressmen are supposed to understand by really looking in to his thoughts.

We know what people think of when the use the R slur, crippled, or "special." It's so harmful to create an insult of someone who is different from us. Further, then to apply in situations where we label someone who has messed up in someway the same derogatory term. It's awkward. It's cringeworthy; it doesn't hold a place in modern society.
