ORIGINAL: Sweetlovingpain How about simply "The world is full of people, each one of them unique and therefore 'special'. The lucky ones are kinky". This is one of the greatest lies perpetuated through the ages... We are not all special. We are not all interesting. We are far from unique. Genetically, we're about the same. Hang out with some guys from marketing for an hour and you realize that for millions of humans, the best we can hope for in terms of originality is to buy Coke instead of Pepsi, or have a Zune instead of a Ipod. You can be a different combination of very similar tastes and choices. I would even contend that all the faux originality in the world is far more of a drag than the unoriginality. Dude, you're 'special' all right.... I'm familiar with the arguement that 'we are all the same', but the truth is, we're not. Yes, I can choose Coke or Pepsi (Coke only thank you, Pepsi is a hard limit), iPod or GPX or one of probably 15 other brands of MP3 players. But it is the combination of those choices that makes each of us unique. You don't have my background, I don't have yours... different = not the same = unique, understand? "Normal" and "average" are statisical constructs with no exact representation in reality outside of a model. A piano only has 88 keys. How many piano pieces have been written? Are they all the same? It seems I recall a few laws that state a copyrighted piece must be unique, but a piano piece is composed from the same 88 choices of notes. People are composed of a lot more than 88 choices. I'd say chances are pretty good that no two of them are exactly alike. Still, you're entitled to your opinions and I'm entitled to mine. You have your place in the world and I have mine. I'll just hope that those places never get anywhere close to one another.
