Sad one.
If they look down at you, just ignore them. You don't need them. You got lots of friends in here. One cannot be appreciated, accepted and loved by everybody.

Well GM, It would be hard to look down on somebody with a frame such as the one you have described. Lots of feeling in this write of sadness. ~SH~

A sad write-unexpected from you, but I liked it all the same. I know how this feels and I believe that if everyone really thinks about it-they have been there as well:)

This write really hit home to me,
my friend. I have never felt "good
enough" or equal to the world. I
stay to myself alot because of feeling
so inferiour. This touched me deeply
this morning.

People either do one of two things when seeing men like us, look down and away, or stare. I prefer the stares, as I respect courage.

You are definitely a man who should be looked up to and it is their loss to those who look down. A beautiful write, GM, it touched my heart.

No Eileen, when I was young and in my prime with my youthful step and uplifted eys ... they never looked down. It started happening as I grew older and older and older. The more older I got the more they looked down.
It has something to do with old age. The older we get, the more invisible we become.
