Fitting


Looking back at my life, one can find lots of success stories: Good schools, a nice career, good friends, lots of lovers... Choose your forte! When I try to look at my past, I only see how I can not belong. Not that it is a bad thing but I do not. If you ask others, they will witness that i have been nice, easy going or down to earth. These are words that sound extremely well until you try to really understand what they really mean. They sometimes mean that you go with the flock and you do not have the heart to change your path. Ohh, I know those people fit very well. That is what they do: They fit. And seemingly I fit. Because I always knew that I was a misfit and I sort of made an expertise out of fitting and keeping myself fit. But it is just an illusion. OK, I started by complaining that I can not fit and then i made it look good. It is a spin. It is not true. Misfits may come from all points in the spectrum:
Take Eleanor Roosevelt or Adolf Hitler. And most of the time, they have the power to transform the society in a way they belong. This may be good or bad. What about those who do not have the power to change the surroundings? I ,for one, am such a misfit. Then they find other misfits and surround themselves with them.

Then the question is: " Where have all good misfits gone?"
