Through The Eyes Of Ignorance


It's all over the news these days, Susan Boyal, the Scottish woman who wowed the world and the judges with her amazing voice when she sang on Britains Got Talent. What a beautiful soul this woman has. She is so humble and wise when I hear her speak in her interviews and so forgiving of a world where people are so shallow as to boo and poke fun at her when she walked out on stage because she didn't fit into our stereotypes of what a woman should look like! What about how people should treat other people? It amazes me that an audience would be so cruel and ignorant. These are adult people who should know better! Oh well, I guess all is forgotten because they did embrace her after she opened her mouth and sang like an angel. We should all be ashamed of ourselves, that we live in a society that supports this type of judgement and treatment of others.
I hope the day will come when we truly understand it is not what is on the outside of a person that makes them who they are and beauty comes in many different forms.

  1. She taught us all a lesson that day, and that may of been her purpose in this world. She has self confidence. She knows who she is and she does not need acceptance from others. When asked if she will change her style of dress or hair style her reply was. Why should I? Bravo for her!

  2. It is sad to say that being in the media has changed poor ole Susan Boyle....They have given her a complete makeover and she HAS accepted it. It really was a disappointment to me to see that she allowed this to happen. We as a society are to focused on looks...Think about....Donald Trump is made fun of for his horrible combover and he is worth millions......I really truly do wish we could live in better times, but history shows the same things happened way back when...
    Me again.....I'm catching up on my reading of your posts!!!!
