A Collective of Individuals

People are unique, biologically as well as Psychologically. We are a collective of individuals. Though many of us may share thoughts and opinions, preferences and relationships we must not be so blind as to assume we are the same. More importantly we must not be so stupid as to assume other people are the same. In this society the focus is on the groups we reside in and our conformity to them, from racial and sexual groups, through nationality to music tastes. But the concept that we are at any time a part of a group is a sordid fallacy. We are never part of a group, group membership is purely a part of us, no more. We are a race of unbelievable diversity and potential but until we accept the diversity of people we cannot reach the potential. we are not mods or rockers, we are not men and women, we are not rich or poor, we are people, we are on race, one species, one tiny speck of dust in the infinite cosmos.

This is not a difficult conept to overcome in itself it is the practicle application of it that is difficult, we are to some extent naturally deisgned to group people in an innate defence, but to overcome nature is not impossible, if anything the human race is proof of that fact. So what do we do with this concept, we destroy our preconceptions of all people and groups and only accept the information we recieve and at all times consider the individual as seperate to the group. We must strive to support the individual and all individuals, to nourish our own individuality, to broaden our horizons in as many ways that we can reach. We must always seek out the beauty of the unique. We are a collective of indiviuals, every one of us an I.
