Description
I am my own culture,My own society,
My own mind.
The communal garble that flushes itself out of the ears of so many never will enter my cranial cavity.
People claim individuality while they perform regimented tasks that have been instilled within most from birth to maturity.
Emotions cloud the minds of these "individuals", assuming the role of an unintentional facade, causing their brains to interpret their thoughts and feelings as unique.
No one is unique.
A true individual is someone who is free from the bonds and chains of society, culture, and community. A person who is selfish and narcissistic; a loner, by choice or nature. A pariah who is capable of being everything everyone is not at every given moment in time.
Surely, this is impossible.
So my point stands: Not a single person is an individual, in the sense of being different.
What illusions us all is our natural desire for meaning, symbolism, as humans.
"Human, human, human, human, human, human, human, human." Loses its meaning after a while, doesn't it?
Language... a mass understanding of guttural sounds that represent realistic things. Without words, language, we would have no religion, no written novels, no constitution or lawful documents depending.
An individual would be someone who is unlike any other. A person with three eyes, the ability to fly, to think upon seven trains of thoughts simultaneously. But yet, at the moment this person is born into existence, he or she or it no longer is granted individuality, for in order to be a true individual, one must not be known to anyone.
In order to be objective, one must forget emotion; in order to rationalize, one must consider everything possible; in order to die, one must live. Cause and effect, while a digression of my main point, remain the only real truth of this world.
Notice how my organization of this miniature poetical essay is lacking in just that: organization. Though, is it really unorganized, or is it just that you can't take the time to understand it properly?

Its just really actually... woah.
I'm more or less spechless on it since really thinking about its true. Nothing is unique from another because omeone or something may be the exact same. Even if you consider yourself individual by featurtes on the body, there has to be a double of you in the world.

The world is still underpopulated enough to prevent any exact doubles (save for twins), luckily.
But I was also speaking on a mental level, as well. Now here, there more than likely is someone who shares almost every thought in tune with your own.
Also, if you didn't like it, there's no harm in voicing it aloud. An opinion is an opinion, and my taking offense at your natural biases (as we all have) would be illogical.

No, I didn't not like it, but it wans't something I could say I liked. When I read it, I more or less just... accepted it.

Huh. That's an interesting standpoint...
So it was more boring and informative than interesting and informative?

*Headdesk*
It was interesting and informative. However, the outlook at first when I read it was strange. It was like those times when you find yourself wondering, "how can people say I'm so diffrent from another when really, we all are the same?".
Its hard to explain :/.

People use emotion (unintentionally and naturally) to influence others. Emotion is the cornerstone of life, and without it there would be no reason to procreate or reproduce. What I want people to do is merely question rather than accept. Say you see a patch of green dirt. Instead of looking to the sky and praising "God", why not try and figure out what it is? That's how science came about: trying to figure out "why" things happen. It wasn't created to blaspheme religion; it just happened to end up that way because it ends up proving to be right where religion is wrong.
I'll stop there. I could go on for hours... 
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read my mini-essay, as well as providing your feedback.
