Black or white

When we do more tasks than expected of our JD, and we don't get to be recognized or promoted in the office, a lot of times we just make jokes about it. 

We tell ourselves, "Oh that's because I have a hidden talent. It's so hidden that it takes a long while before folks recognize it." 

And then we become serious and say a prayer quietly every time we sigh, "God sees this. This will count someday."

That is easy to do. But this one is different. It becomes challenging when you apply the same thing in situations when there are people that you know who "like away" statements that actually strike you down as a human being. Although they don't directly dislike you, their act is an outward showmanship that there is a large part of you that they will never accept.

And you feel that they put a condition to liking you because of what they do. 

And it makes me regret being your friend. I am ashamed that you put people like me behind some hidden line and like us only when you choose to. I wish you can be more like me - brave to accept you for what you are and ready to fight for your right to be recognized because we are the same after all. I wish you can be more loving the way we do. Because right now, I really feel that your actuation was very hurtful. You don't even really know me or where I come from, or why I don't show up in your socials because people will look at you as if you're a weirdo. Sometimes people are even kinder to drug addicts than to us.

So yea, Someone can see all these sorts of degree of hatred and conditional liking. I just know that between you and me, I am stronger and vey much likeable than you.
