The little things you’ll never dare to ask me…
Title’s from Sonata Arctica again.
I have so many questions. But how could I possibly ask them without causing pain?
You see, there are a whole lot of things I just can’t deal with. Although I’m not sure, I suspect it’s because I don’t know enough. But I dare not ask the questions, lest I hurt someone… Maybe I’m oversensitive – hell, I know I am, but I just can’t do that.
Let me clarify?
If I see someone who is blind, black, albino, has lost an arm, etc. I get curious. I’m not racist, not in the least, but I’m still interested. I’d love to hear about their experiences – positive or negative -, difficulties, whatever.
But… I can’t just go up to them and ask: “hey there, have you been harassed lately?” I think… maybe if I understood them better, I wouldn’t be so scared myself. (Obviously I’m not talking about black people here – oh come on, please tell me you understand what I mean! No? Whatever.)
Maybe it wouldn’t get any better. But then again…
Maybe if I could ask old people (my own relatives?) how they feel about dying, and I understood, I wouldn’t fear for my life so much. The same’s true for amputees (sp?).
Then there are the other – sometimes silly – questions. Like, how come blind people aren’t scared all the time? It must be like invisible people walking around you – think about it, it’s kinda spooky. Can they listen to mp3 players on the street? I guess not, that would be like walking around the city blindfolded…
Anyway, that’s not the point.
And maybe… maybe they wouldn’t mind talking about things like this. Maybe they would appreciate the fact that I’m genuinely interested. But… I still can’t ask them. it just wouldn’t feel right, I guess.
Sorry if i sound a little crazy, but i’m sick and it’s getting kinda late anyway.
Also, no vid for you. I know you wouldn’t watch it anyway, and Youtube sucks.
Umm, okay. Have you seen this one? Hope I haven’t linked it before, but come on, who the hell can remember all these videos?

wow.. .. the video… i never seen it before. … but is cool! T_T that guy killed Kyo…. not fair!
anyway…… another interesting subject….. how can we ask someone “different” about his “difference”?
hmmm so hard……. i have the same problem… i can’t just go and ask! hard problem hard to answer…. hey anyone who just can answer me [us if they are more] is welcome !! really
ohhh…ohh.. an idea…. can’t we became friends with that person and “catch” her trust and then we can ask her? ?? ? NOOO… too stupid!! and painful…. sorry!
anyway good question!! i will think about it!!
Yep, it’s a really hard question…
Maybe a website could be used for this purpose – there might actually be sites for this kind of “help”.
So, you’re a fan too?
