what's with people and 'communities'? there are sites and groups for everything! i was under the impression that everybody wanted to be unique, but that's impossible. "you're unique, just like everyone else." the fact that so many of these groups and communities exist seems to back that up.
i guess the uniqueness shines through in the way people present these ideas. sometimes somebody innovates and we get something completely new. well, a new spin on an old idea.
does that depress anybody else? the fact that you are restricted to the same ideas that everyone else has, everyone before you had, and everyone after you will have?
sit back and think about that. makes you feel small, huh? and insignificant. "what is man that you should be mindful of him?" no kidding, huh?
so maybe, what it really comes down to is people wanting to feel small and insignificant with other people. or maybe it's the opposite; maybe being part of a group gives them identity and makes them feel big because they're part of something else.
thanks for listening. tune in next time for more opinions and questions of the ages.

this isn't a stupid post! I like it! I think people want to be significant by being 'someone' even if it means being the same as others. Or maybe it's the need people have to identify with others. Isn't it a wonderful thing when you meet someone who agrees with you on something you firmly believe in?
