if everyone were like you would the world be a better or worse place?

Answer 1

As long as they aren't wearing the same outfit as me, yes, very much a better place.

Answer 2

If everyone was the same, then there would be uniformity. If everyone was different then there would be variety.

If you find yourself being unique, and totally individual, then it is that uniqueness and individuality which makes you that person. You are essentially not following anybody, whilst at the same time following nobody. In other words, to be unique you must sometimes consciously choose to not follow or copy. This in itself is a following action, as the leader would just do the opposite of what he/she wanted you to do.

If the hive was full of queen bees, would the hive be better or worse? Clearly worse is the case in this example.

What if the hive was full of worker bees? What would they be working for?

Worse would always be the answer unless I was asexual!

Answer 3

If everyone were like me, no-one would be like you (a sad place indeed). This would mean complete disagreement about everything, constant arguments about trivia that would keep us from getting any real work done, but not being able to help it, we would certainly starve as nothing gets produced, with accusations flying left right and centre for how pathetic we are, upsetting each other with brilliant character analysis employed to soften each other, to find the weak link whom we could convince to feel like it is their responsibility to do all the work, probably introducing child labour, as anyone older than 18 would certainly see through the ploys, although anyone under 18 would rebel against such tyranny, refusing to listen to elders, denying them the authority they claim.

Result? Violence and death.

Hopefully others would make more sensible me’s than me.

Answer 4

It would be better. There would be no swearing, no rudeness. Everyone would treat everyone else with politeness and respect.

There would be a resurgence of thirst for learning, the libraries and bookshops wouldn't be able to cope. Every college and university would have waiting lists.

However, it would be boring if everyone were like me. We need the diversity we have to make society bearable. The cult of celebrity would be of minor interest so photographers, reporters etc would be a lot less busy.

There would be so little interest in football that Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Michael Owen and .... errr..... Colleen's other half (I only know her name because one of my nieces is called Colleen) would be grateful to get minimum wage.

Answer 5

Errr worse...we all would argue ! then get in a huff and plot the others down fall...

After the massive war I would have with lots of me's the remaing me's would then get along fine until the choc's ran out and it would kick off again ! Until one me is left with a self hate complex...and while brooding get attacked by howler monkeys and killed...end of humanity the world is happy agian.

Bet it would be the same for everyone hehehe if ur honest

Answer 6

Better or worse, I don't know. What I do know is that it would be a boring place. Not because I am boring, but because sameness breeds boredom. The world needs all kinds to make it interesting and interesting is better than boring.

Answer 7

I would have to say that I would feel sorry for all those that would have to live like me, to go through what I go through everyday. I can barely bear all that has been thrown at me, and it would only make the world worse than what is like, if they were to have to feel what it is that I feel. The world would have a blanket of silence cast upon it, there would be darkness, but then maybe there would be more understanding to be found if everyone were to think the way that I think.
Then I guess you do have to wonder as to if everyone is already you and that you as yourself are incapable to see through their eyes, as to what runs through your own. You are forever left in question. Will the answer ever be found? None of us know, none of us will ever know the truth, we are all trapped in our own confinement, there is no escape, see the world through what eyes you were given, and you will never see.

Answer 8

If everyone were like me the world would be worse off. Imagine if the whole world only knew as much as I know, liked the things I like, refused to do the things I don't like to do. That would be awful! Not to mention, d--n boring, too.

Answer 9

It would be worse because:
- Mi character isn't good
- Even if I were the best person in the world, it would be horrible because the world is great because it's various and everyone is different from the others...... and a world with all people like me doesn't work, certainly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

The world would be just as you want it to be.

We are Spirit manisfesting in human form.
Through our humanity we allow Spirit to experience 'humaness'. Each of us is an indivisible part of '"All-That-Is" - but in human form.

Our individuality does not affect anything except ourselves.
Spirit is neither 'positive' not 'negative'. Spirit is.

By 'being ourselves' we manifest a facet of 'All-That-Is'.
We are not seperate from the Creator - we are indivisible from the Creator. We are, oursleves - Creation.

Therefore it matters not whether you are 'like me'or 'like yourself'. The question is actually redundant.

"God made man in His own image." This is a truism for me. It does not have a 'positive' nor 'negative' connotation.

If you do not agree with this it does not cancel either of our thoughts on the matter. It is irrelevent. We just 'Are'.
I am that I am.

It is a paradox.

I hope this is of value to you to learn of another viewpoint.

You are neither enhance nor diminished by me 'Being'.
The world being a 'better place' is not relevant.
I am my own world. I can only be me. My 'values only apply to ME!

The world being 'better' is a value judgement and can only relate to each individual's sense of perspective.

In the process of my 'Being' I intuitively hope that I do not have an adverse effect on others. If I do then it is not intentional. Even the fact of having adverse or positive effects is a human value judgement - and not a Spiritual one.
Spirit 'IS'. No judgement, no values - just a state of 'Being'.
I can only 'BE'. I exist only in the 'Now'.

Like you, in my understanding, we are just manifestations of the same Spirit - just different.

We cannot be the same - but we are human manifestations of the same architect of Creation.

As stated before - it is a paradox.

Answer 11

We all like to think that if only there were more people in the world like ourselves then the world would be a better place. But we are all different and want different things for our world . We cant all be right.

Personally I think that if people were more tolerant and less judgemental (like myself) then maybe just maybe we might have a more peacefull and loving world.
