♥ The "R" Word
watch this... the whole thing... its worth it...
i had my friend send me the link to this vid...
he had told me off for using the world "retard"... he included it as one of the "swear words" im not allowed to use or else i have to pay $1... =(
and at first i was like "NUUUU retard isnt a swear word!!!!!!"
and then i watched this video... and i was touched.
how casually do we use the word the "R word"? whether it just be to friends when joking around... or when someone does something stupid...
i wonder how the mentally disabled feel... if they could feel... feel the insults that are thrown at them. wow we really are hypocrites... i think about what he says... how his sister loves everyone... yet people throw insults at her... i think about how much she loves her brother.. and how much he loves her back... how inspiring.
so next time... next time i come across someone who may be "different"... im going to see them differently.. no, no longer a nuisance... a bother... but a beautiful person... a loving person...
