Shiny

Shiny was a little girl. She had a problem in the skin, and even if she was black, she had white spots all over it. Because she never saw someone with the same problem, she started to think she was weird and different. So she pulled everyone away, and tried so hard to be alone, because she was afraid of what people have always done.

Hate, hate, hate and be hattred, said the man on the news, talking about war because of the color of the skin, and about murders because of the ideas or the preferences. Even if her parents were always helping her to feel loved and normal, they talked about homosexuality as an abnormality of hell, and about the chinese they were always making cruel jokes always full of hate. She got scared. Even her parents hated, so why wouldn't the rest of the world?

But, one day, she looked through the window, and saw a boy looking back at her. She got scared, but then she noticed that the smile in the face of the boy was just so warm, and his eyes were so sincere. She was confused, and he just keeped smiling. Why wasn't he laughing? Why wasn't he making jokes? Why wasn't he hating?

The boy came back every day, just to look at her and smile. And so, she started to smile too. And she decided to show him her world. She started to draw, and sent him the amazing drawings in the form of flying paper planes. And so he went one day and brought his guitar, and he started to play and sing a songs about his vission of life, and he never hated nobody. And so, the duration of his visits transformed from minutes into hours, and her drawings started to be just about him, and his songs started to be just about her.

And one day, finally, she came out of her house. And he made her learn that the hate of the rest of the world didn't really matter, because she was beautifull by the way she was, she wasn't perfect, but there was nobody perfect out there. And she was more human than all those persons together.

Shiny was very happy for the first time in her life. She started to draw more and more, and her drawings went famous all over the world. She started to gain money, and she had de approbation of everyone. But she never tried to buy a huge mansion or something like that. She got a pretty but modest house in a good town, and she spent all her money on helping people all around the world and on humanitary publicity campaigns against hating. But the world wasn't still a good place, even if things changed a bit, people keeped hating. Why? Shiny asked herself.

Well, that's because... It depends on you. It's in your hands to stop hating. It's in your hands to change this world. I don't ask you to go everywhere with everyone, but I think that, if you just, didn't hated the people, , whe world will be a better place. Also I think that, if you had more tolerance with everyone out there on the street, your daughter, or son, or sister, or brother, or nephew, or niece, will grow on a better place. Because it's not about separation, but about acceptation. If you don't actually hate nobody, well, then, why don't you shine like Shiny?
