If you haven’t noticed, the world is composed of things different from one another. Not only different objects (rocks, water, clouds, plants), but each type of object varies widely as well. Sandstone, granite, gypsum, marble are all varieties of rock. Eagles, hummingbirds, cardinals are all species of birds.

One of the most fascinating patterns in nature is the aspect of variation within similar organisms. All trees have roots, trunks, limbs, and leaves; but the variation across species (oak, palm, fir) as well as among the individual trees is virtually mind-blowing. All dogs have four legs, a tail, and love eating food, but a poodle is not like a Lab. And, as any dog owner can attest, you will find personality differences even within the various breeds. But all these differences are needed for a healthy, vibrant ecosystem.

Similarly, people differ in so many ways—shapes, sizes, age, abilities, family history, personal life experiences, educational background, ways of thinking, personality style, values—the list seems almost endless. Siblings can be very different from each other, despite sharing DNA! As the famous social scientist Margaret Mead said: “Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.”

If we were all the same, life would be extremely boring. The fact that each of us has so many unique aspects to our lives brings a richness and “interestingness” to life.
