...misunderstood flower

I was talking to a friend some time ago concerning a particular individual.  He was commenting how eccentric and strange this person was.  Come to find out, he actually never talked to this person at all and frankly didn't know anything about him. He was basing his opinions on what others had told him and compartmentalized the information as the truth.  Fortunately I was able to get to know this person and found him to be a truly remarkable human being.  He was not a weed.  I know some of us want to have plush manicured green lawns and the invasion of dandelions can be distressing... but don't judge this flower.....did I say flower?  The glorious yellow color and the simple but pleasant shape makes a dandelion a thing of beauty.  Some say it is simply a weed, but judge it on its beauty and you will see a flower too.  Treat people for who they are and the weed you thought they were will disappear.  Guess what?  .....your life just got better!  Peace...........jimmy
