*NOT* just another face in the crowd

uNiQue..!


How unique are we? There have been interesting findings proving each one of us are unique…biologically… But what about mentally? Spiritually? Are we unique that ways?
A particular student may be taunted and bullied by his/her classmates in school just because he’s not like the others…be it in mannerisms or physical features…While some other student may be admired by all just because he happens to be an all-rounder and people just flock around him. How unique are these two? They are not. Both have their share of obstacles and victories, joys and worries…but it’s the way in which they perceive it. Am I being too harsh on the loser? Come to think of it, the winner always has things going easy for him…maybe because he’s pretty, smart and has a way with people while the loser’s just the opposite. But, the loser can work on it right? Nothing’s impossible..!
Anyways, back to the main topic now. It amuses me how some people perceive themselves as unique in character, trying to build a mystery around themselves when infact its not too big a hurdle to decode them. All of us make mistakes while handling people. You realize that a certain person is wonderful “if” you really get to know him/her when you cross that barrier around that individual…it may turn out to be the other way round too. So, uniqueness as I see it, is common.
Everyone wants to be unique. Just tell a girl she’s unique (positively though), she’s all over you. I have seen this many a times. Tell your teacher his manner of approaching the subject is unique, you’ll notice a glow all over his face. Tell your parents they are unique, that they are like none other parents you know…see how proud they would be.
So you see, everyone’s like just another face in the crowd…

I can see your post's getting more introspective...thouroughly enjoying reading them...

Bravo ...good write this...i would like to add ...we never tire of self deception :-) to think how unique we are...

perhaps one day we can see the untainted light...free of all the mind games we are so adept at....


perhaps the first step is introspection...what mazes we will have to find our way out is a journey ...and as they say the journeys more fun than the destination....



like to share a quote from wittgenstein...


It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed ''Wisdom.''

And then I know exactly what is going to follow: ''Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.''


its quite depressing to think that even the quest for meaning in life itself is a vanity:-( ....but surely there must be a way of life without vanity?....

keep writing...
