Being
yourself in a world where everyone is trying to fit around, it takes courage;
yes, that beautiful courage which allows you to stand out and be unique.
If
we look around we can see that people have some traits, habits or personalities
which can be unlike others, and it feels to me that this makes a person more
interesting & fascinating at times. But, it is also noticeable that the most beautiful thing & at the same time the hardest thing to tolerate is some people's uniqueness.
Over time, it has been observed that some people don't have problems with their uniqueness, but with the uniqueness of the others (in some way, it bothers them).

For sure each of you’ve heard those more or less ‘silent’ comments….if s/he's
not like me, s/he has particular flaws…if s/he were like me, s/he would have
the same flaws as me (and that would be
very hard to bear), and so on…anyways, sometimes it is very complicated to
make sense of all the pointless noise.

On the other hand, I truly believe that it
is great to have friends who appreciate you for who you are, otherwise life without
them would be like a dessert…life with good friends and honest relationships gives
us joy, fulfillment, security, meaning, health. At times, some relationships
are not easy to maintain due to some disturbing interferences, but good friends you care
about are worth the price.
Aside of that, just imagine:
– What it would be like for a whole world
to talk a lot…definitively it would be super tiring!
– Or let them all be silent …what boredom that would be!
– Let everyone be impulsive…for sure they would break their heads!
– May they all be visionaries of projects…who no longer get to see their
fulfillment, unfortunately!
– If all would be extroverts…there would be no room for each other.
– Or if all would be introverts…a world where no one talks to anyone….and the
list goes on ...
One of the wonderful things about human
society is the diversity in gifts and abilities, but in order for those various
gifts to fit into the final inlay they have to be sanded and processed first,
don't they? This is not simple, but it makes sense.
Personally, I truly believe that in life
it is important to be true to yourself & be who you are, so be different & dare to embrace
yourself as you are...be one of a kind!
