If everyone of us is so special, then who among us is ordinary and average?

Question

i am as common as dirt and as ordinary as a rock.

Answer 1

No you are still special. Everyone is unique in their own way. Still, if you have a beige car, are married with 2.2 kids & a dog, work 9 to 5 etc etc you may be ordinary & average in the sense that there are many many other people who fit that profile. If however you never married & climbed Mount Everest & wrote a book & had a pet bat etc etc you would be rather unusual since there would be almost no one who would fit that profile.

The advantage of being ordinary or average is that there is safety in numbers. It's comfortable when you fit in with the majority. To be exceptional, extraordinary, unique can be difficult since there aren't many people like you & you may feel alienated from society.

Answer 2

Each and every one of us , even twins , are individuals. Can there be a chance over time that a human can be an exact clone of another that had existed, knowing how DNA works and all? There is always a chance, even if it may take an infinite amout of tries among an infinite amount of combinations. Who knows? You might be the 10 occurrence
of a life form over eons of time and even perhaps over lifetimes of the universe itself (creation, expansion, retraction, death).
However the term "average" can only be applied to a sampling of a group of "whatever". So we can be average only when we are a single element of a larger group and share some kind of common characteristic.

Answer 3

There are just two types of people.....
1) Ordinary and average like you and me
2) Abnormal... in my view there is no difference between the extraordinary and the abnormal.

Answer 4

We all think of ourselves as being special, and so we are.

However, everybody else's perception of us as individuals is that we are normal and average.

Walk down the street today and count the number of people you see that you would think of as "special". Not one amongst them, I'll wager. (PS. I don't count having a Mohican, or sticking a ring through your nose as being special, becuae that's pretty ordinary from where I come from).

Answer 5

Answer 7

yea...everyone is definately special...but they often hide this...........
ppl follow fashion, celebrities and popular culture, religious ideas etc......and thats why they all become ordinary, coz they are following the same trend....

Answer 8

"Remember you are unique....Just like everyone else." lol
I know it's hard to tell how people classify the normal and the average but I guess that we are all normal just some are more or less than others..
