Scars - a mark left on the skin or within body tissue where a wound, burn, or sore has not healed completely and fibrous connective tissue has developed.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe this to be entirely true. Scars come in many different shapes, sizes and forms.
You can have the physical scars, the wound ones that are visible, whether it be ACTUAL cuts, or it could be stretch marks, bruises,
and then
you have the scars that aren't so noticeable, the ones that are hidden in the eyes, or the voice or even the soul of a person.
Scars are more than just what a dictionary says they are.
The problem with scars, is that they never go away, the visibility of them may, but there's always a memory, or a trace somewhere, and if you look deep enough you could even find it.
Everyone has a scar, be it from cutting themselves, getting cut by someone, or getting hurt by someone emotionally.
So, what do you do when you notice a scar? Do you just walk by the person and assume that its in their head? Or that it'll get better? It doesn't always get better, and it's not always in their head. And, if it is in their head, it was put there by someone or something.
I have scars. I have the physical cut scars, and I have stretch marks. But, the scars that affect me the most, are the ones that you notice when you look deep into my eyes. I know my scars are there. I know where they came from. Someone on the street may look at me, and see that I have a smile on my face, and they can think that everything its alright. But, if that person were to look into my eyes, ACTUALLY LOOK, they would see the scars behind the mask.
Phantom of the Opera, is a perfect example of a mask hiding a scar. The phantom hides the scarred side of his face behind a mask, so only a perfect figure shows through. But, when someone, like Christine Dae, removed the mask, you could see the scar.
People thought the Phantom was a monster because of his scar, and because of the hideous scar that made him a monster, no one wanted to be around, or socialize with him.
People in our world they see the physical scars, and they think the person is werid, or a monster (In a sense) and they decide not to get to know them. I'm not saying everyone is like that. There are people in this world that see the scars, both physical and non-physical, and those people tend to try and understand.
To me, the people that see the "Monsters" and just judge based on the scars a person have, they are the real monsters. They have scars too, but they are too afraid to show them, so they hide them, they try to be "Normal"
Why am I talking about this? What am I trying to get at?
People, when you see scars on a person, or in a person, don't just assume "Monster", or "Ew, hideous" and please don't assume that someone is looking attention. If you don't know the person, say its a complete stranger, smile at them, and tell them you hope they have a great day. Because, that smile, and those few words, could help ease the pain of someone's scars. It could even save a life.
Please, dear reader, I beg of you. Don't judge someone for their scars.
