Every Child is Precious

After watching 'The Accountant' and I can't stop thinking about this. In that movie, the main character described as autistic. Things get messed up because parents see autism as a problem. Parents want to have normal children, healthy children. But 'define normal' the doctor said. 

'The expectation of this world for your child is low'
'he can do great things'

These days taught me things.
Every child is precious.
Every child is perfect
Every child has their own strength
Every child has potential, talent.
Every child needs to be accepted for who they are.
Every child needs to feel it's okay to be different

And especially, those things have to come from the parents.
When the closest thing they have doesn't feel safe anymore
Doesn’t feel comfortable anymore
Doesn’t have love
Their self-esteem would decline
They wouldn’t have a safety net



So what I'm gonna do, I think, to build an institution, a school, a foundation maybe. For those children, who can't feel safe to be themselves. Who can't feel love. Who doesn’t know what love is. Who is scared that the world is going to reject them as a human being. Who is scared that they wouldn’t have friends.
