Damaged people are often the ones that can make a difference. That difference might be for good or for bad. It might be to do with them having faulty feelings. Damaged people feel things differently, sometimes inappropriately. They probably don’t work so well within convention where certain emotional responses are required in order to be able to conform. They may well feel comfortable in places where they shouldn’t, places where others would wither, where normal responses would render them unsuited. The damaged ones can survive, thrive even, in strange environments.

Many creatives, those who innovate and drive forward the process of change, are invariably of this type. They can work in hostile conditions where their capacity for inappropriate feelings facilitates survival.

It is a little ironic that change and progress are often in the hands of damaged people, the ones who can get things done and make a difference. Just another curious aspect of a weird and wonderful world. It probably shouldn’t be this way.
