Karen's example of accepting myself proves why

its hard to like myself when I love who I am. Its hard to like what I am when I face life like Karen's. Not as bad as hers though. Audism is sad in this world. This kind of discrimination often makes me feel low and not liking myself.

Yes. I haven't read Karen's story - I kind of read out of order, but I know that when people are undeniably prejudiced to you ( not just unaware), you, (or at least, I), feel it in a way that affects you/me, sometimes for a long time ( sometimes it never really goes away). And unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter how much I love myself, or know them to be wrong (or other people say to ignore them). The only thing - that I'm remembering recently - that helps (not having your faith in the purpose of pain) is the strength that comes from the communion of other sensitive people, loving people, (even who sometimes makes unintentional, insensitive mistakes themselves.) The love and acceptance is (for me) the Holy Spirit which heals and redeems.
