I was asked to be a counselor in a junior high camp. Everybody ought to be a counselor in a junior high camp- just once. A junior high kid's concept of a good time is picking on people. And in this particular case, at this particular camp, there was a little boy who was suffering from cerebral palsy. His name was Billy. And they picked on him.

We have the power to hold no opinion about a thing and to not let it upset our state of mind- for things have no natural power to shape our judgments.— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6:52
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them.15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
