We all have something that we wish we could change, that we wish we could become. Many people wish for fame or fortune, others success. Some people wish for love, fellowship, a companion. Others wish that they could lose a few pounds or have the cheek bones of their famous idol. For the Doctor, he wishes that we could be ginger.
I'm not sure how many of you are fans of Doctor Who but, to keep it brief, the Doctor can regenerate (i.e. change how he looks) when he's about to die. It's what the Time Lords do however, most Time Lords learned to control what they turned into. The Doctor didn't. End of the day, he has had eleven (soon to be twelve) incarnations, and not one have been his beloved ginger.
Many people thing that, to get what they want, they must change something. This could be to themselves or to other people. Life doesn't work like that. We are who we are. We come as we come. Sure, they'll be people who won't like it, and there will be times when you feel bad about yourself, but changing is running away. Some people have done an awful lot of running, like the Doctor, but that will all catch up on them in the end.
For me, I know that there are people who don't like me. I know that people say bad things about me, people whom I trust and care about, and that hurts, but I'm not changing because a small group of people want me to act in a certain way. And in any case, if I was to change, I'd never end up with what I want to end up with...
...I still won't be ginger!!!
Stay Strong
Michael
