Everybody is somebody's weirdo
Exactly so.

One who thus closes his/her heart falls into darkness.
Did you mean to say, “one who closes his heart to the person, rather than condemning the action, himself falls into darkness”? That would make a certain sense to me. I’ve felt for a long time that there is no such thing as evil, only those who are misguided and follow what are at root base desires. To close ones heart to the misguided leads one only to one’s own darkness.
