is there really such a thing as complete individuality? I mean isn't there always someone who is just what you are somewhere? Example - the Emo movement

how could you not respect something that is such an amazing wonder? I mean think about it, what if there was a clone of you. An exact genetic replica, but you grow up as you have and the clone lets say grows up in New York. How different the 2 of you would be. Or even better, a complete copy of this world, only in that world you had spaghetti for dinner lastnight, and here you had a salad. How would you feel today, how would they feel? Or maybe they took a right and you took a left. Who did they see or meet that you haven't and never will? The deeper individual properties of one's life are a great thing to admire. Everyone has experienced something different. Shit, you and I could sit down for a dinner in a resturant. Order the same food, but I bet my experience with the food, the resturant, and the conversations that would take place would be totally different than yours. How neat is that?

i do think it is quite amazing.. but my defenses put up a fight, at times, and insist on classifying people. example : let's say i have an experience with someone and it's horrible and then i experience a similar situation with someone else and before things could even progress further, i freak out, become convinced the other person is going to react or lead me down whatever horrible path the former person did..
... quite simply : i neglect to realize that every situation is different because it's just as unique as the two people involved.. and people are not nearly as similar as one another as i tend to think they are.

ahh yeh I see what your saying. that's just experience keeping you safe. it's a defense mechanism in your mind, and it's not nessiccarily a bad one. I find mine to usually be right lol! so in retrospec you don't hate individualism you hate personal defenses based on past experiences.
yeh it does... come to think about it food in general sounds good.
