I am, the one and only …

Most times, I find the WordPress daily prompt quite interesting. (See, there I go again with that Glasgow tendency to play things down. 😉 ) ‘Quite interesting.’ Hmmnnn.

Today though, it’s rather dumb. Well, I think so. (And I’m not convinced it’s grammatically correct either. Just sayin’.)

‘Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?’

Easy! Simply put – their ‘existence.‘ There – that was a short blog post. Sorted.

OK – a little bit more. I’m certain I’m not the only short person in the world; there’s probably another short man somewhere who rocks a daft mohawk hairstyle at 67 years of age; more, there’s probably some dude who’s short, old, with an age-inappropriate haircut and plays pickleball; probably has a large record collection too; and enjoys writing. And is a bit of an idiot.

All those mentioned above can take a seat.

Now, the field of similarity has decreased dramatically, I should think. So how many of those still standing, worked in Banking for 28 years; then worked with dogs and other household pets for 18?

Aye – not many left now. Ok, who can also say they’ve had a gun pointed at their face during a bank raid? Or survived an Out of Hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Yaaay! I win! 🙂

I’m willing to bet all of this week’s pocket-money, there’s nobody else in the world fulfills all the criteria that’s required to be me. ‘Coz I’m special. I’m unique.

And so are you. And the next person; and the next.

We are not ‘unique’ because of our looks or our actions or our attitudes. There will always be someone, somewhere can match them. We are unique because of a combination of things. We are unique because of circumstances, good or bad.

We are unique because of a combination of circumstances in our very existence.

We are each, ‘the one and only …’

Buenos días, feliz Lunes

Buenos días, amigos y amigas, de nuevo Lunes, da comenzo otra semana más, ya de primavera aquí en España en lo meteorológico parece y de aquí a nada, Semana Santa o Fiesta de la Primavera, según se prefiera celebrar, cada uno lo vive como quiere, como debe ser también, y decir que toca además adaptarse al cambio al horario de verano, decían que algún año acabarían estos vaivenes sin sentido, ahora ni se sabe, desperté algo cansado, el jetlag del cambio horario jaja en fín, comenzamos la semana con la mayor alegría y esperanza posible, esa es la idea, abrazos y feliz comienzo de semana, abrazos.

Is there a single thing that leads to uniqueness? Yes, I think, but it’s not something we can see or interact with. It’s not a trait or a characteristic either behavioral or physical. I am not the only tall, red haired, green eyed guy with a weight problem that required surgery to alleviate (or at least temporarily delay), who is a step father to two adults, who is married to the love of his life. There probably aren’t a lot of us who meet all of those things, but there are definitely more than one. None of those things, together or singularly, make me unique.

So what does make us unique? Easy. DNA. Genetics. To misquote Breaking Bad, as most of us do, Science, Bitch! Forgive me for feeling all sciency on this the most holy of christian holidays, but only one of the two topics is actual truth and it ain’t the one about the guy who is his own father who died and came back to life to save humanity from himself. Nope. Not even close.

Right then, let’s all take our unique selves and work our way through our unique days. Happy unique Sunday, everyone.
