"Because I am different. So don't compare..."
Interesting. Difference is the outcome from comparing per se. So how would being different hinder someone from being compared? It already happened!
Is this the best thing we could come out as our excuse at the brink of comparison? Is it our fear of comparison (and losing!) that brings us to this pursuit of being different?
If it is comparison (and fear of losing) that we are running away from, think again about the meaning of being different. Our fear is something out of the context of the fact that things (may I say everything) are comparable. We have all the adjectives to describe our comparison. In a way, everything is different and isn't it all just the same? And so much as the comparison is an ambiguous interpretation of subjectivity, it does not change the fact of what we truly are.
So why do we have to be different? Why do we have to change? Face it and anyway, nothing could change it, we are bad at some things and to be fair, good at some things (can always change the range of spectrum of comparison :P) . No matter how little the good ones are, isn't that enough consolation?
