Individuality...

We are all unique. All of us. As our genetic combinations, our biological metabolism, our experiences, our reactions to those experiences together makes us very unique in our outlook and thinking. And thoughts maketh the man. So we are what we think and since our thoughts do not match with anyone else in the world, we are unique.

But then why are we not unique then? There are many training sessions that we undergo in our life time that helps us blend in a crowd. Sometimes these impulses are so strong and the impressions are so strong, they last a lifetime. Look at the army, look at education, look at religion, and look at law. Don’t they say that we are all equal in the eyes of the law? And we start believing it so strongly that we start doing what everyone does. We try to emulate the success of other people. We try to dress up like the x actor or we start talking like the x superstar without realizing that their style works on them may not work well with me.

Same applies when it comes to our dreams. We all want to be doctors, engineers and successful professionals without realizing whether we are cut out for it or not.
In an effort to form a society and smaller blocks of civilization like the family, workplace, we are losing our individuality. We are thinking like everyone and ending up in making mass blunders. There is no one thinking out of the box. As we are too stuck to the perimeter of the box.

We will soon have a universal world, a unisex world and a unipolar world. We are already working towards it. But isn’t it at the cost of our individuality? And is that the way ahead or are we going to wake up and move out of mass production of everything and go back to customizations. Well only time will tell…
