something sad


Someone sent me this photo, along with a whole bunch of others who are heavily tattooed, pierced, scarred and otherwise voluntarily mangled. This one, however, is the one that caught my attention the most.
What happened to this person during the course of his or her life to cause them to wind up this way? At one time this was a little infant child, helpless and dependent upon the world. Cute and precious beyond anything. And now?
There is much sadness in these eyes. Just look for it. Beyond the piercings, the cuttings, colorings and distortions. Look in his eyes.

He looks sad because people like you judge him purely on his appearance. Shame on you.

No, the above is not an judgment but merely an observation. A judgment would be something like "look at this horrible person" or "he's evil."

I am merely inquiring as to what you think happened to this individual that caused them to desire to change his appearance so drastically.
