Odd one out?

This world is weird, indeed! Everything that is evenly distributed is considered good, or the best, and often 'perfect'. And then, that what is different from rest of the lot, gets plucked off conventionally. Whether the even lot qualifies for the fairness scale or not, 'even' is welcome. 
The formula is, 'getting mixed up'. If you can not get mixed up with your peers, you get labelled as 'arrogant', 'egotistic' and the like.
Surprising it is that no one cares to follow that people have their own choices; and following the choices must be regarded as a matter of free will, and not a tint of their attitude/arrogance.
The dignified lotus savoring its solitude may be looked upon as an arrogant flower by the marshes, but how can the opinion of marshes be justified! We always seem ready to kick-off anyone from our worlds who doesn't abide by our opinions. We find them 'odd', and we are 'intolerant' to odds. This #intolerance thankfully, is not an attribute of our genotype, but phenotype. (So I believe.)
Firstly, craving for perfection is a syndrome; as perfection is not a matter of reality, but illusion. Secondly, disregarding the ones different from us simply because we are good at making the castles of our opinions without any firm foundation may hamper ventilation, occlude the entry of fresh winds entwining  some new ideas. Suffocated, stinking life is bound to be the end-product. 
Honoring everyone we meet, accepting everyone we greet, without holding prejudices, can promise a beautiful world worthwhile, for our 'own' selves! We need to understand that what we call imperfect is delectable in its own way; every imperfection bears a distinguished,  unique trait to admire. We need to imbibe that odds are also to stay in our world, for it's their world equally. 
Let's be the vehicles of bliss! Let's be the carriers of harmony! Let's love loving love! 😊😊
