A brain that is different to everone else, capable of answering questions on subjects with accuracy because of the ability to be discerning.
I'm not claiming perfection, many are capable of such behaviour but some are not.
What a wonderful question to answer.

That depends on how specifically you mean. If you mean to include every single difference, there are too many to list. No one looks exactly like me, though some look similar, no one has had my exact experiences, though many have had similar ones, and no one has my exact genetics, though my relatives have similar ones (especially my sister because we share parents).

If you mean why do I think I'm "special" or unique, I don't really. On a superficial level I'm a standard issue female philosophy student with a moderate interest in some other areas that many other people share and philosophical points of view that many others also share. I do not have any personality traits that are not shared by others, either. My exact combination of traits doesn't exist in any other person, but no one thing about me is remarkable or unique.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love and blessings

Everyone is different than everyone else. We are all unique.
" You're unique! " I think that is a silly cliche'.

It should go something like this.
" Your unique, just like everybody else! "
If we are all unique what so special or exclusive then about being unique.
HA, just a little pretzel logic for ya.

The fact that I am a combination of every experience I have ever had and everyone I have ever known. No one else has had exactly the same influences at exactly the same minute...that has created me.

I got a Black Flag tattoo at the age of 36. Surely on idiotic folly alone, I'm out on the fringe.

I think you are asking, how poeple are different from each other? and how are they the same? well, its a long story!!!
I am different from you, by the way I think and the depth of my sensabilities. I stop and smell the roses and notice their color, shape, scent, etc. The way I think and feel has a lot to do with my up bringing- but also with my soul. Culture and religions are just a tool for our growth- spiritually. How we use the tools is another aspect of who we are. blessings.

This is a very interesting question, I was born in Africa and I assisted in helping bring a better life to people who needed it the most so my life has been very full filling and exiting.
