It's okay to STOP, LISTEN, and CHANGE

My own opinion I think most people go through their journey putting the square peg through the square hole because it's easy, it's quick and it fits. Now, if we're trying to stick it in the round hole people will look on and be like, "That doesn't fit!" "It doesn't work that way!" "Stop your going to ruin it!" and so on...
The thing is effort and will power. We tend to think something or someone doesn't belong because they are "different" in our eyes or an "idea" is different and so therefore, it doesn't fit or match what we've always perceived as "Normal" or "Exceptable" in the eyes of our peers.
I will put my own example my wife. She was born with Cerebral Palsy. She cannot walk, she is confined to a chair. When we go out in public we are often met with stares, back handed remarks and people thinking that she is my daughter. I view her as no less of a person I don't even see her wheelchair as a deterrent to her overall. She is no different than anybody else. However, I have had several nasty comments from my family since we've been married. "She is disabled she will never be 'normal' ", "Why did you marry her? She will only hinder you in life and it will be a life of taking care of her." Or, "It's not right to marry someone in a wheel chair it's not 'normal'"
Now, we are also met with alot of compliments I don't want anyone walking away with the thought that everyone who comes our way thinks it's weird or abnormal for a man to want to marry a woman in a wheel chair or that is disabled. We don't always agree on things and have gotten upset with each other but, we love each other and that is what matters.
We as humans and jedi need to think outside the box of our four walls and see that their is a huge universe just outside those four walls waiting to explored and embraced.
Embrace the change my fellow Jedi it will set you free from the illusions of this life.

Adder wrote: What might that stirring be, maybe perhaps the subconscious exerting effort to process the square peg through its round hole... which we for some reason might interpret as something to defend just because it engages us at some deeper level then normal awareness. So on some level it could be seen to be considered some form of power to motivate action, and so could be used for constructive action if the focus was made more useful.
