I bet you have come across this quote at least once, I had to think deeply about the implications and maybe the meanings that could be derived from it. Symbolism is a writing style that has been used for centuries which has made translation of ancient and modern works a complex matter, the works of Jonathan Pageau brings to light some ways in which certain texts can be translated and that’s what I basically used
Individuality is the basis of which the western laws and freedom lies, the sovereignty of the individual is the highest good. The individual is placed above the state which is a good thing since better individuals translate to a better society. Humans have unique abilities and talents, a research done on twins shows that although they were born in the same environment and with the same parents, they ended up liking and doing different things
Why do you want to be unique? Why do you want to be remembered? These are important questions we fail to ask, we can look at a very unique individual who you actually have to remember when you do anything especially (falling down). Isaac newton was a very unique individual, his biggest achievement was developing the laws of gravity, what many don’t know is his personal life, Isaac newton was numb emotionally, maybe that’s why he was so rational. Every achievement has a price and his achievements had one of the highest price and individual could pay. He was unloved by his family and had gone through some really terrible things. Would you rather be is sac newton?
Being unique means going against the society status quo and internet generation (Igen) are learning every day it’s what they should try to do, changing systems that have been working at least partially is a bad idea especially when you have not learnt about history and developed adequate knowledge through one on one with the world. The best way for an average person to end poverty is by becoming rich! This will help in getting a clearer view on what to do but also making sure your intentions are clear (you don’t hate the rich).
Being unique should come with a deep meaning towards making the world a better place using our talents and abilities. There are some pretty unique individuals who are also remembered Hitler is a good example, Stalin too!!
