The Hardship of Being Unique
This sounds like a very positive title for an article, but the truth of the matter is that truly unique people in this world are treated poorly by others. They'll will call you "strange" or just flat-out not understand you at all. Although we claim we don't discriminate against people who are different this really isn't even close to the truth. They'll hate you for everything that differs you from them, and will treat you like an outcast, and I am sorry. I know exactly what it is like to be different from others, as I sympathize with you. I'd like to explain the sociology behind it all.
We understand that people want people to be like them, if only to feel equal to others. When someone is unique compared to others, those who do not compare to the unique individual they start to feel inferior to that person. A person's defense mechanism that kicks in when someone is different from them is to alienate the unique person from themselves. This is not right to any extent. Why are we so weak mentally that we can't stand to socialize and learn about someone who is different and has unique ideas? Is an exotic person not good to befriend and accept with open arms, ourselves knowing we can learn much from them? We are human, first and foremost, and we have that common bond with everyone. Without variation the broken world would be even more mundane.
Rhetorically speaking, are we really that scared of change? Without brilliant people, be them thinkers or inventors this broken world would not be a fraction of what it is today. Great companions, be them friends, family, or lovers, are often both similar and different in various ways. We usually get hung up on the petty differences. Why should we not let someone in because they have one philosophy that differs from ours? The biggest joke this world has is contests and elections. Why must we have a popularity contest of any sort to decide who leads and follows in this broken world? Our votes and choices of what and who is hip is absolutely one of the dumbest conceptions in this life.
Can we ever hope to exist alongside those people who shun and alienate in this life? Must we be divided into smaller groups of people of similar interests just to socialize with others? Or can we break out of our shells, embracing our differences? Can we make popular opinion die? We need to take into fair accounting, and realize that we, as a people, always deserves the best company and leaders, and that we are all equal. I cannot learn anything from one who is just like me. I must surround myself with those who are different from me to both survive and thrive to my fullest, and I know that i will benefit them with my knowledge and expertise.
Conclusion
We are all different in some way or the other. We must knit a tight bond with everyone. We cannot continue to alienate and outright make people feel bad for their differences. Sometimes, as I have mentioned, different is good. Next time you see someone suffering, being kicked around by society for being different, why not brighten that person's day? If you even only touch that person in one small way, if only for a moment, you will still generate karma and do good to another one's heart and soul. That is a treasure, to know that you broke down your own mental walls to escape your imprisoned mind and to free someone else at the same time. We are not obstinate creatures: we will be Bette if we live and love together. Embrace each other's differences.
