One Minute Ramble: Individual within the group

Where does the individual start and stop in the group collective?

How do some individuals stand out and become leaders and role models, and others stand out for less inspiring reasons?
How are some individuals excluded, distanced and ridiculed for their differences, yet others are put on pedestals for theirs?
Why do some individuals always follow the crowd, and others do their own thing?
Why do some people look down on others, while others cower in fear?
Why do some help others, but others help themselves?
Why do some people get everything they want, and others get nothing they need?
How can some people eat themselves silly, yet others not know when they will next be fed?

Everyone of us is an individual. We are not the same. We can use our individualities however we like. We can make ourselves count for something. We can be better than we are.

Life’s a b*tch is the simple answer Tom.
If I had just one answer to any of your questions I’d be a rich man.

  I don’t think there is an answer, Trevor… thanks for commenting on my ramble about putting the world to rights!

The World or should we say the inhabitants are not equal to be equal, Sir Aquatom, in that no society works where there is no leader…. someone always comes forth and is head and shoulders above the rest, in his own mind or sometimes in others, i.e. put on a pedestal…. and it follows that some will always have more than others, as not all seem to believe in share and share alike. The very nature of us humans is we’re always striving to better ourselves, and I would hope that this betterment was for the good of others, but it’s usually for selfish reasons. (with a few exceptions I hasten to add…not all are tarred by the same brush. ) … Putting the World to rights is an admirable thought though, I commend thee in thy quest!! xPenx

  Thanks, Pen… I think I was ‘on one’ when I wrote that post… as if I can even make the slightest start in putting the world to rights… I ought to concentrate on my immediate world first. Still, it felt good to have a little moan about the state of things. I have to moan about something every now and then…
