i'm reading what people say about him. some say he's so brave, he assumes his difference. some wonder how he will do when he'll change his mind about his tattoos. some say he's unemployable. others admire the art made on his face. some just don't believe.

i would say that we need extreme people to talk about, we like giving our opinions.
and extreme people need the others' reactions, opinions, because they don't like to feel anonymous and casual.

i think we all need to distinguish ourselves, but at different levels. for my part, i like being noticed sometimes, at parties, for instance, to have fun. but just for this occasion, or just for a while. i can't imagine being so different all my life long. i think it's fundamental to preserve the reversible aspect.
this guy has made a mistake for his future. he has created an everlasting burden. a kind of poisonned present to himself
