Different

Recently was going through this blog and read a very old line "what are we without our hopes and dreams". But sometimes I wonder what are we even with them. Are we as different from each other as we think..atleast we all do like to think that we are different and unique............I often think that all over there are common themes which link all themes, hopes, dreams, actions almost everything you can think of under the sun. The dream that I see today must have been seen by someone else yesterday and will be seen by somebody tomorrow. The emotion which I am going through today whether joy, sadness or indifference would have been experienced by someone yesterday and will be experienced by someone even tomorrow. Even we go through similar situations and call it "deja vu". The point which I am trying to make is that are the differences which we try to emphasize important enough. We all go through lives trying to prove how different and unique we are.....I have heard this statement so many times..."i cant explain it is different".(also a famous tagline for a ketchup goes something like this)...but the question to ask is "Is it different in a way which is important or is it different because we have chosen to make it look diffferent". Is it not important that instead of noticing the differences between everything we start noticing the similarities among things. After all the greatness of human minds is because we have this capacity to unify things, classify them into similar blocks and learn. Then when and how did we start noticing these differences between castes and regions and forgot to look at the bigger picutre of being humans, similarity of emotions whatever the geography, time, era..........My this post is inspired by a book which read recently "The kite runner"
