I promise you. The life you have always wanted to live is right in front of you. You are not so special just because you were born the way you were. We are all seekers on the path to enlightenment and we are all equal in very many ways. Look at nature.
Life is full of variety, yet everything has a function.
A car can have a great engine, but with no battery to start it, it's useless. Without tires, the engine can start up fine, but the car will not go anywhere. All components serve a role, no matter how small, to make the car operate in the most efficient manner. Life is the same way. When we show respect to all people, we open our minds to challenging our own beliefs, if we can accept what others say without offense.
