Chapters 4-6 "Able.. Perhaps a little too able" (HUXLEY 71)
Helmholtz Watson is a little bit smarter than the rest but at the same time has a physical defect. When Watson was being born a fluke happened and he is now smarter than his peers, this isolates him because people know about this and shun him from their groups. He is not respected because he is different than what he should be. In our society none of these things would be considered defects. People are encouraged to stand out with their brains and in the way they look.
“Don’t think you’re on the right road just because it’s a well-beaten path.” (Author Unknown)
You don’t look the same, you don’t sound the same, and your personality is special. Your deep-held values are unique. Even your laugh sets you apart. Throwing that away just for the sake of looking and living like everyone else is one of the cruelest things that you can ever do – it will always prevent you from fully living your life. Instead, champion the things that make you unique. Celebrate them. This is from a minimalist article stating that being independent is one of the most important things you can do.
