Story of the Mutants

What If You Were a Mutant?

(source: my tumblr post)

 

A mutant, as in X-Men, yes. Maybe the picture above would be your answer. You would try to look normal—obscuring your difference, because being a mutant is an abnormality. 

If you were a mutant, you’d be an outcast; you’d be a freak. If you were a mutant, you might spend a whole day weeping, blaming the fate and asking the unanswered question to life; “Why me? Why am I a mutant?”

As a mutant, it would be hard to admit that you were different from your society. You’d be afraid that society wouldn’t accept who you were. As the result, you’d be struggling so hard to match yourself to your society.  You would disguise your mutanity. By this, you betrayed your true self; your true identity as a mutant.

But, we don’t have to be a mutant to disguise our true personality, do we? Sometime, it’s what we do to show our ideal self, the personality we would like to be. We try to conform, because it would be easier for us to be accepted and liked by others if we had some (or many) similarities. 

Do we really have to be afraid to be different? This line from X-Men First Class could be the answer:

Look of what we will achieve. We are different. But we shouldn’t be trying to fit into society. Society should inspire and be more like us.

So, be brave to show who you are, because however, we are all different ;)
