Few years back, I wanted to feel special so I bought a book on sale called, "Are you one in a million? - Peter Hewkin".
Turns out the book's numbers are based in UK.
And guess where live? India.
Great. Just great.
Good thing it was on sale.
Anyway, this rather funny incident where I made a fool of myself, made me start observing probability and uniqueness. My observations over the years, led me to realize something really strange...
It's about how everyone (including me) want to be in life.
We want to be unique, special and important when it comes to cool qualities or success.
But we don't want to be unique when it comes to disasters and chronic diseases.
For example, Person A wants to be unique enough to top the class but not be unique enough to get a rare incurable disease.
Get it now?
Isn't that strange?
Though the reason is probably our human nature. We love to avoid trouble and aspire for good things of life.
Maybe life's about finding a balance, being somewhere in between.
I'm pretty average.
And that may just be a good thing.
