IT is so easy to judge a person by his or her appearances. What is very sad is that the person who is doing the judging is not stopping and reflecting and ask her/himself why is this person overweight, or his face is scared, or why is this person's face becoming white when he is suppose to be a black person? If they would walk a mile on those people shoes they will not be as cruel. They are so prompt to judge and be very mean. I am not suppose to disclose my patient problem, this is just to explain how cruel is the world we live in. Now this adult came to my office for the first time with a surgical mask, and I was wondering why? This was the time of the swine flu.. I figured he got the swine flu. It was not the case. He got 3rd degree burn when he was a teenager, and he is badly scared. He was made fun of, called him monster face, wrinkled face, I will stop because I will cry again.This poor soul had to endure 15 yrs of his life with name calling. So when he first came to see me, I made him understand that the society we live in is a cruel one, I told him that he is a unique human being, and worth while living. We need him in this world, and he is very much loved by his family and friends. I spoke about myself I was overweight all my life, and I have lost about 150 lbs, it took me 2 yrs and I still have to lose more.. (about 30 lbs) I know how it feels to be ridiculed alot. Nothing stopped me, I have always accepted myself the way I was, I know God made me this way for a reason. I did lose my weight for health reasons, I do not want to get diabetes or a heart attack. If I would have a guarantie that nothing will happen to me I would stay overweight. So this poor man, understood, and felt better about himself, now he still comes and see me for therapy, and is awaiting for plastic surgery.. This man was living by a string, he was going to commit suicide. So this man has the courage, and this is what I am trying to say, God made us this way for a reason, and the reason for this man having vitiligo, or Michael having vitiligo is to make every one aware of this desease and it is ok not to feel rejected.. It happens to the best of people. Life is so precious, if you see a person who is different, please do not make them feel less then what they already are feeling. bless you all my friends. p.s. sorry for the long post.

In our society, the elderly, sick people and in particular persons with disabilities, tend to be relegated from the normal flow of life. Are seen with bad side and even many people do not have sufficient education and even mocks them. These people have no consideration of the sick, elderly or disabled people should stop a moment to think that in no way are exempt of see where now are those people who are not so lucky to be healthy. Young people go out there without stopping to help an old man or without considering giving way to a person in a wheelchair, do not expect that attack us a disease to realise that we must help those who need us and not mocking, especially to those people who do not enjoy the health we have, because without a doubt that we will also arrive to need the help of others at some point in our lives
Being a vitiligo patient for almost 30 years, I do understand Lee very well. I don't want to repeat myself and tell what I had to go through becoz of this disease but I had the same path like Lee had. :cry:
I hope that Lee Thomas realizes that he is still a beautiful looking man. While he was talking, his intelligence, courage and true soul show though his features. I have to say that I find him extremely attractive. That probably says too much about me. No depth, no bruising = no interest on my part. @ allforloveand believe...feel free to diagnose.
Purelove you will suceed I have faith in you.. Persevere and you will see..
I also find Lee Thomas very attractive...he's attractive externally but when he talks and you get to see his heart and soul shine...he's just beautiful. Thanks Applehead for posting the interview...and thanks to all4loveandbelieve and PureLove for sharing your own personal stories (PureLove in the CJ thread). As much as this 'hoax' has been fun as far as investigating, evaluating, decoding, etc. etc...I absolutely LOVE when members share a bit of their hearts. I know we should be careful with too much personal info but in getting to KNOW people through their posts...for me anyway, is really special. THAT part of this 'experience', IMO, is just as beautiful as all the rest...if not more. With L.O.V.E. always.
