On this next post, i really wish to continue on the topic of the internet in our lives. However, something about our lives, more than the internet and what it is, struck me tonight.

How come when we struggle to be the best, we usually benchmark on our norms and emulate those set by the majority? And, this is always about laurels - symbols of pride - motivating each one of us, expressing "if he can do it, i can too!". We focus on capacities and abilities vis-a-vis everyone else strengths and weaknesses, as if we are all equally capable in every circumstance. So much so that we believe that we differ only in our attitudes.

But, I believe otherwise, that we are not the same in a lot of ways. We all have different lives and we're living it all at the same time in a society that molds our aspirations. Eventually, we create the principles of life in our activities, providing us a visual of the utopia. However, as individuals, my life will never be yours and will always be different. If I'm right that we are all unique from each other, then why am I the same like everyone else, so to speak?

It lies perhaps in someone else expectation of us. Looking at you to be someone they want you to be. And since pride is such a strong feeling that motivates us, we try not to disappoint them. Then, without us noticing, we already live in the image of what others want us to be. I say now with conviction... Wrong! We are unique...Period.
