Four leaf clovers are considered to be lucky because they're rare, right? Because they're different? Well have you ever considered what they really are? They're a genetic anomaly. In other words, they're the fuck-up, the one that doesn't fit in, the accident. Most clovers have three leaves, but 1 in 10,000 have four. They're rare, they're different, but it's considered a good thing.

So if four leaf clovers are considered lucky because they're different, why can't the people in our world be considered lucky for being different too?

Why can an extra leaf make something so special, yet glasses, braces, piercings, tattoos, different hair, different weight, or a different height make something so...terrible? Why do we see it differently? They're all just different. So why can't they just be lucky, too?

If you find a four leaf clover, don't pick it, please. Leave it where you found it, where it's supposed to be, to thrive. Because after all, it's just different.
