Differences vs. Similarities

Differences vs. Similarities

The creation of man was God's unique masterpiece where no one man in this world is similar in every way. But yet in the midst of His beautiful creation, there are also similarities of people in some way or another.

There's nothing wrong to be similar in some ways, neither is it wrong to be different in other ways. Because of this uniqueness in creation that consist of both similarities and differences at the same time, human behavior also varies with similarities and differences.

A certain group of people just like to be equal with others, they will try their outermost ability to keep up with the rest, desiring everything to be the same. Some people call them, the 'herd'.

While there are the others who just like to be different. They don't like to do what others are doing or the way others are doing things. They simply like it their own, uniquely. When they realized that people are 'copying' them, they often feels very uncomfortable and tend to make a change for something new. Some people call this group of people the 'eagles' who doesn't like to just flock together.

There's nothing wrong with either because anything taken to an extreme is error. The key is still to be balance.

Take for example,

some people like to buy clothes that are exactly the same and wear them together. Nothing wrong, perfectly alright. But there are those who don't really like to see someone wearing the same thing with them and there's nothing wrong with that too! Have you tried looking for a nice dress for a special dinner and finally found one that you fall head over heels with and during the dinner, you saw someone you know wearing the exact same dress.

I guess i am the kind that likes to be different, to a certain extend. Like i say, to a certain extend. So things that are more common or necessities i am not so particular of course, like what bible i buy, what toiletry brand i use, how i pray etc. But other than that, i don't buy what others already have and sometimes i don't like others to buy what i have.  I guess most creative people will like to be different. *So stop trying to be like me*

I truly believe that there's nothing wrong to be unique because i serve a VERY UNIQUE and CREATIVE God! =D
