Most of the things we look at, are really as we see them? Do we have any power to go beyond appearance?
Some of us do not even question themselves about this matter, others learn it and others seem to have this natural/divine capacity.
The video linked below, might seem to be about deformity, about handicaps, and it shows an astonishing and disgraceful race of cynical people who kill anyone who does not fit into their own parameters.
I think to the Gospel (Mk 6, 1-6) where we find Jesus who cannot do many miracles in Nazareth, his own home town. He couldn’t do much because people did not (or could not?) believe him. He was the son of the carpenter, the son of Mary, He was one of them, how could he possibly do anything special? He did not fit into their scheme of how a person should be, has to be! He did not fit into their strict mind; but we know He did fit into this wonderful world of ours. A gift from Him, where He does love anything normal and anything special; in fact He knows that variety (difference) brings us richness and, most of the time, only special people bring us unexpected gifts; they are able to open our eyes and believe in all the good that surrounds us, in all the good that, too much often, is hidden within ourselves.
It is the difference that makes the difference.
And this is why, the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference is not only ignoring someone else, but ignoring their hidden beauty, and their love.
Shalom
God bless you
