One adopted brother was a Korean double-amputee who hated using his prosthetic legs. For the photograph he was made to stand on them looking as if he were about to pitch forward. On top of that, even the normal sister who was recovering from a broken leg was asked to put her temporary crutches to the side. Had any one of them faltered they all would have toppled like a house of cards. Nevertheless, in spite of our addiction to youthfulness and 'normalcy,' diversity in all its forms provides not only fascination but strength.
Diversity tends toward higher forms, uniformity toward dullness and extinction.
