Theory of Relativity
Life is relative, not subjective relative.
Relation. Relative.To surroundings, people, circumstance and competition.
Its strange how less than perfect lasses and lassies begin to believe they're gods gift to (wo)man kind with egos to match when surrounded by the lesser perfect.
Have u met relatively intelligent einstiens flauntingthier superficial knowledge and transient academic achievement because people in thier college jsut arent smart enough. Make them compete with those a little better endowed and they are haggling with teachers for a mark or two because "how could he get more than me?!!"
Its hilarious!

Stuck on a feeling
Stereotypes, Bias, Pride and Pedjudice. We all have them, you think you don't but I know you do, one or another, sometime or other.
A student, sitting at the canteen held hands with someone of hte opposite sex. Is that strange? Different? Unheard of? Unusual? Absolutely not. Now what if I told you this student was visually challenged?
"Your a blind boy, behave like one" she said. But how do 'blind' boys behave? Is there a code of conduct a book of rules?
How likely are you to assume a visually challenged co-passenger is feeling you up? Would you brush it off as a mistake? How about if he was otherwise handicapped or mentally challenged?
Why do we assume taht they have noe sexual drive, desires or ability to violate? Or are they allowed those 'compensations' by virtue of being challenged?

such thought provoking posts are taxing on intellectually challeneged folks such as myself!

That aside, it was very well written. And i dont know why im going "how true" when you didnt really leave an answer.

I am a little confused... was he holding hands with someone he knew, or was he feeling up someone's hand?

Casablanca:
He was holding hands with some one he knew but that jsut got me thinking would i implicate a visually, mentally or otherwise challenged person for feeling me up?

You remind me of a film called "Sparsh" where actor Nasseruddin Shah gives a brilliant performance as a blind person.

IN the words of the Mahatma.. "Look at the blind man, and you'll know what you have"!!

I cannot help but feel that, were he alive today, Gandhiji would have been forced by inner compulsion to launch yet another satyagrah. This time against us, the "haves" of India, because we have outdone the British in our acquisitive quest for `development'. Never in the history of free India have so few people grown so fat at the cost of so many.
Very well written post, will resonate through minds for a while!
Cheers
