Does anybody else feel that they are special?
Able to see things or do things better than other people?
Believe that in their own way they are essential to the existence of others?
Have you had these thoughts?
Probably/hopefully/maybe just me.
All three are interesting outcomes and are worthy of
discussion.
Probably

This means that most of you reading this, at some point,
have believed that you are different. I, for example, have often wondered if I
am the first person to think certain thoughts (Philosophical mainly- and
mostly forgotten before a pen and paper are at hand). The chances are that this
is not the case and many before me have thought these thoughts. But have they
perceived the ideas differently? To illustrate: if you look at one tree, will
others see that one tree the same? (Possibly a discussion for another
time). These are questions that plague me and I could do with an answer (Preferably
before I start getting Pretentious).
I digress and my point is that there are so many people
existing and so many that have existed it is almost impossible to say that you
are individual.
Hopefully
I would like to believe that there are others out there that
see the world in a similar light, so people can see eye to eye (Diversity is
obviously important too). If you did have your own unique way of thinking it
would be lonely. Does anyone feel lonely?
Maybe Just Me
Am I a psychopath? Do you guys even exist...
