I have spent my life surrounded by nerds. I don’t say this
as if it’s a bad thing. In fact, I prefer nerds. They are honest about who they
are and unafraid to be true to themselves. That they are maligned by the
popular crowd is not lost on them. It registers and I believe it does inflict
some pain, but not enough pain to compel them to seek fashion advice, join a
gym, or start watching mindless television. And we all know that the nerds win
in the end which is what matters most.
When I was younger my brothers played a game called Dungeons
and Dragons. They played it for hours on end. My friends and I found it odd,
but we didn’t ask questions because the mainstream Christian establishment had
labeled it the devil’s game and to our teenage minds that made it kind of cool.
