different

Today on the wheely sardine can, I saw a guy who moved in an interesting way, caught my eye, and didn't look awful in the jacket or anything, but then I saw his pants, didn't finish on his shoes, and I saw his hair it was very thin. He was facing away from me so I have no idea what his features added for him, but could tell he had very thin hair, but it covered his head. The same hair appeared to cover his sideburns and hint of a cheek. It looked like a thinner lighter version of hemp, but his scalp was visible for the full 180 degrees.

My thought, upon observing all this was that if he shaved it all, no one would be able to tell how thin his hair was. I was then immediately defensive of him, why should anyone care that he had different hair (or some such defense) and I realized that there must be some natural inclination towards 'normal' and 'non-standoutishness' when in reality, we are all different.

My next T-shirt slogan: "I already know you're different"
