To be unique means to go against groupthink, to be confident, to be a visionary, to challenge the status quo and those are all uphill battles many of us would rather not face. To be unique is almost a calling because it has to go through so much to be allowed to exist
I think that's why we bastardise it and look for small things to make ourselves seem unique like a tattoo or colouring our hair. I think true uniqueness needs to be tested and almost pushed towards breaking point to proove it is indeed worthy of being acknowledged
Agree with you. It is a pity that not everyone has the strength and courage to do this. Although, in fact, we are limited not so much by society and its assessment, but by our own prejudices. Unfortunately.
