I was asked go to celebrate an Engagement, but later learnt that the clothing I was going to wear was inadequate for this function, so I didn't go. I don't have lot of money and thought the clothing that I own would of been okay I was wrong.

That is really sad Samson and you get a big Bear Hug from me.

It's sad when what we wear shall be what there count...we as persons are the most important....not what we can buy in order to show off.

But the development of our society seems to focus on such thing.....but many times we restrict ourself far more then the host, due to our self-esteem.

But I will say a person wearing rags and radiating self-confidence is far better then a peacock wearing his/her cloths as her/his shield.

I think in all stories on our different sons of God (different Religon)he wear "rags" and not the cloths of the upper class.

Another good Grandpa hug to you Samson and forget the "insult"...it's not worth a second thought

Another HUGE hug on it way to you.

Dear Samson,

Now that you have gotten all these hugs and caring and belongingness and hopefully recovered <presumably> from your recent social mishap ... how are you going to deal with your life differently?

Let me share with you something I experienced oh some 28 years ago when I was 27 and yes more naive than 27 year olds would be today!

From an ancient culture but still 3rd world in today's lingo, looking for a dream that I had read about in grade 5 (neither the school nor the subject of my choosing, by the way!), when I arrived in Canadian Prairies after my first ever plane ride let alone transcontinental ...

My orange suitcase that had all my belongings or most anyways (I was smart and carried all my documents and certificates in my carry-on bag!) did not arrive and I was devastated! As I tiredly tried to describe it to the airport officials, my english was at its worst and the countrymen and women of my newly embraced homeland of choice smiled disparagingly. I could have cried at that weak moment!

The bag arrived a few days later, delivered to my home! WOW what a country! (I realized later when few years after that I had to go back to India and my luggage was lost, but this time I had to make a trip on my own from Bhopal to Bombay to retrieve my suitcase, initially at my expense!!>

A few weeks after I arrived in the Prairies in BRR January (-40C) I was standing outside a shopping mall still adjusting to my new home and homeland and a small boy on a bicycle passed me by and after he passed me, shouted, "PIG!".

I would never have believed that he meant that as an insult towards me, the only dark-skinned person in that white snow-covered beautiful visage of nature, unless I happened to see that 25-30 something canadian woman who heard that and smiled approvingly.

Awakenings are moments when we suddenly realize that there are crossroads ahead of us. Do we go the high-way or the way that leads down and down?

As I learned more and more in my new Country I learned that Pig, deplorable as it may be to many cultures, and food for many, is an animal that is very close to human beings and is used by scientists for testing drugs and functions of the heart and vascular system and nervous system and other systems! Isn't that amazing? That the brain of that foul-mouthed kid and the heart of that young woman who joined in the bigoted outpouring so many years ago, painful as those were, were to terminate in the realization that pigs are closer to humans than we give them credit for!

If I can feed so many, and be of use for so many humans to provide knowledge and remedies (for a long time insulin for diabetics came from pigs), despite how they hate me, my life would have been worth a lot. Perhaps a lot more than many would presume or pretend it was! Like that free-wheeling little kid and that cold-hearted young woman did 28 years ago! I wonder where those two are, today ...!

hey there,

there is a saying in my language( it's actually more like a rhetoric question), that translated would sound like this:" Are the clothes made by man, or the man (image) is made by his clothes? "  it's stupid and sad that people judge other by money and look. If there is to judge someone by the clothes than better  look at their choices, it will say something about their personality.... In my opinion if you wear simple and clean clothes, it says a lot more about yourself...

forget about it, this is one of the many small bad things that came along with society ...stamping people......look at history, from the very past the rank of people was represented by clothes...

have a hug,

I come to believe that our true friends in life do not care of our clothes or finances. They care only to share time, space, and energy with us.  People that make you feel in adequate because of superficial reasons ARE NOT FRIENDS.

Do not feel down because you don't 'fit in'. Those might not be the people you are SUPPOSE to be 'fitting-in' with anyways.

Always know that you fit in somewhere that will glorify and lift up your spirit. Not issue damaging blows to it.

You are a special and wonderful man, do not allow others to detract from that. Show people what it is to be born unique, be yourself always, do not let situations determine who you are or what you have. You be the judge of what constitutes wealth and abundance. Because material items do not equate wealth nor do they define wealth.

Anyways, you are a great guy. I offer to you the biggest my sincere hug I can possibly provide. With love-

Thank You taraprincess & curlyDredLocks for your thoughtful HUGS, I know that it is sad when times have to come to this and especially when it happens to oneself, this is a lesson that I've learnt, which is something I will not fall back into.

Thank Again,

Samson.
