Growing Clones

We may have observed that most of our thoughts, feelings and ideas are so similar even though we may claim contrary to that. I remember a quote that stated that though we may think we are very different from each other but in reality we are dreadfully similar to one another. Although the emergence of similar thoughts is attributable to the physiology of us to a certain extent but most of this is related to the way we are brought up.

To make my view more clear let me draw an analogy. Consider a random generator (pseudo), although the system has ability to generate different numbers every time, the system fails in its functionality if the "same seed" is given as input. The case with us is also something similar. Though we have the ability to develop as very unique individuals our systems are not allowing this to happen in an efficient way. We are educated and equipped with the same methods . Moreover we have social pressure to conform to the norms or standards and we tend to treat a person as an outcast when his views are drastically different from that of the others.

The goal is to equip and encourage people with diverse views and thoughts. This would in turn help us to understand the complexities of the universe better and also would help us realize our full potential.
