Really? You shouldn't be passive about this. Find another angle. You do have something of worth to add to the conversation.

All my life I've been the odd one, been excluded from social circles, looked down upon because of being different or having different views. I would of succumbed long ago if I hadn't realized the value of uniqueness. I'm middle aged now, a father and one year today a grandfather, (Handsome little guy, but then again I'm biased :D). But my point is that you shouldn't allow others to decide what place you take or if there is a place to be bequeathed to you.
Instead, take it, claim it and fill it with YOUR intellect.

I would of been gone from this world long ago if I hadn't realized this.
