Among the ripened ones, some remained hard and inedible (DIFFERENCES). The diversity (differences) in the human family should be the cause of love and harmony, as it is in music where many different notes blend together in the making of a perfect chord.... -(Abdu'l Bah'a -- Baha'l Faith). No matter their DIFFERENCES, they still stayed TOGETHER in peace. Infact, without any outside influence, they mostly lived and withered TOGETHER gradually (LOVE). No Discrimination; No Stigmatisation; No Rejection; and Exposure. No Anxiety; No Desperation; No  Depression  etc. It is not our DIFFERENCES that divide us. It is our Inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those DIFFERENCES... -(Audrey Lords). Well, for the said lucky ( or unlucky as the case may be) ...

That-local-kind of ego! You know! Do the bead; snap it; upload it... Finish! Thousands of likers&followers appear; clientele explodes; overwhelming cash flow begins. Have I considered the nature& the ever changing rules of this particular engagement, the hassles;  the hurdles and personal negativities?  No! That's the mindset. That's the attitude. Today, I understand better. Nowadays, people goes, "yaay! your work is different; your illustrations are out of this world. Please tell me how to achieve this feat."
