I've been debating myself on this topic for a while. I feel that no one can be different.
Everyone is different to begin with, therefore the same. If we try to be different, there is already some one who is trying to be different and they then become the same. Then if you look at it from the other side... If we try to be like everyone one else, then we are being different, but not. Because we are like everyone else. Does this make sense to anyone? Seriously. I want to know.. |

I don't really believe, on a philosophical level, that individuality exactly is in threat simply because there are people who may hold similar personalities to our own. Individuality isn't about being different, it's about being who you are. It's not about playing the part, it's about who you truly are. Honesty, and integrity. Even still, I don't think you'll find a perfectly identical pair of personalities in this world at any given time. So, I don't exactly see the problem.
Are you saying I can't be an individual just because there have been people before me that have done similar are identical things that I have? I don't exactly follow that line of reasoning. |
