We don't believe other people's experiences can tell us all that much about our own. I think this is an illusion of uniqueness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everyone has their own different life experiences which make them who they are. No two people's life experiences are the same. And mine are just unique to me.
There's nothing particularly unique about my experiences except that they're my experiences.
We tend to think of our selves as the only wholly unique creations in nature, but it is not so. Uniqueness is so commonplace a property of living things that there is really nothing at all unique about it. A phenomenon can't be unique and universal at the same time.
If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience.
Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.
I really think the human experience is very similar for everyone; we're all doing slightly different versions of the same thing.
I don't want to discredit people's individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That's acting.
If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience. Reality is no less precious if it presents itself to someone else. All are discoverers, and if we disenfranchise any, all suffer.
It's interesting to see how we are all uniquely different.
I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.
