There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

&quot;We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are dull, some are pretty, some have weird names, and all are different colors... but they all have to learn to live in the same box.&quot; <br /> ~Anonymous
