Our whole lives we are told we are unique, that there is no one else like us in this world; I guess there is no fun in being told you are the same as everyone else. What is wrong with this? People being taught that they should be proud of their big noses, freckles, moronic ideas, Inuit accents, small penises or Portuguese heritage because they are the only ones with them and that’s what makes them special. 300 million Americans being told they are a unique snow flake. All these people believing that they have to satisfy their individual, creative desires and therefore they might buy into something they believe is unique when it is just massed produced like everything else. Go to an Ikea, Pier 1 or a Target to see this. This is a major characteristic of today, mass producing something that seems to be one of a kind. Opinions are made through this process too. Opinions that we think of as our own and we must defend them to the death and anyone who does disagree of course is an ass homo or a ramidacus. But then there are some that think they are so unique that they accept all and every opinion which this is also an shared opinion onto its own. Can anyone relish in the idea that no matter how individual we think we are, that our ideas, that there are probably going to be at least a few million people with exactly the same? Or what's worse 6 billion people with 6 billion opinions. Why do people cry? Being told you are the same as everyone else could be the best lesson of them all.
