Growing up an outcast gave me a form and perception predicated upon the idea that reality is indeed a social construction that has been passed down from one generation to the next. It is not of our design and we today are not responsible in any other way other than to perpetuate it by simply existing. Because we are given roles right out of the gate, we are lined up at different points either at the line or behind the line.
Being an outcast I had to get along with everyone, which gave me the ability to see things from various other perspectives. The experience has been thus far fulfilling. Not for me financially, but for me as a person individually. Being on the sidelines has its advantages. Because reality is a social construction, it is easy to read. The actors who play the roles they play, do so while letting everyone know their everything.
