The Untouchables

In India there is a caste of people called the untouchables. These are the outcasts of society who no other members of society are supposed to associate with, but those in that caste. It is a rigid system that still exists despite the fact that India is now a democracy. These are the poorest of the poor in this extremely large country (Note: This is the end of the educational portion of the blog). Oftentimes I entertain questions in my mind of whether I am untouchable. Not because of a rigid social class system that I can't break out of, but because I've made it that way somehow. I know my friends love me, and my family is stuck with me (I know that they love me too), but what about the love of my life kind of love. Is it possible that I possess some fatal flaw that makes me unloveable? Is it possible that instead of making it easy for someone to get to know me and love me that I put off a warning signal to not get any closer. I am generally happy with the state of my life, but in those moments when I take stock of my life and assess where I am at and what I want, I simply wonder...
