12. A book with a plant in the title or on the cover
How strange it is that people of honest feelings and sensibility, who would not take advantage of a man born without arms or legs or eyes—how such people think nothing of abusing a man born with low intelligence. It infuriated me to remember that not too long ago I—like this boy—had foolishly played the clown.
And I had almost forgotten.
Only a short time ago, I learned that people laughed at me. Now I can see that unknowingly I joined them in laughing at myself. That hurts most of all.
— This was a sad and heartbreaking book that explores humanity, intelligence, happiness, and how ignorance truly is bliss sometimes. THE LAST PAGES TOTALLY BROKE MY HEART 😭💔
