humanity

I've been meaning to write this entry for a few days. Its kind of something I always think about, and figured I'd might as well put into words.

I love the concept of individual people. How every single person has so many layers, and how no two people are exactly the same. How everyone sees and feels everything in a different way. We all have likes and dislikes and emotions and everything that makes us human. Everyone has something that they are passionate about, even if they haven't discovered it yet. Like how I live and breathe my writing, and some people live and breathe their sports or other hobbies. And how everyone has a different color that they just love, or music that just speaks to them. I always think about that, especially with music. What is it about trance that I love so much? Well I love it, I can't even explain it, because to me its just the best thing ever, but to people like my dad for instance, it couldn't be more annoying. I can't understand people who like country, but there are people who just love country, probably just as much as I love trance.

In some cases its a question of nature or nurture. I like reading, so does that mean its in my genes? But liking music isn't really in your genes. A lot of time it depends on your culture and your age group. To my grandpa everything on the radio isn't music, it's just noise, and I can't imagine what he'd think of my trance and techno.

But this isn't even about music. It's just about our individuality as a human race. We are the only animal with such a wide variety of likes and dislikes, when it comes to everything. We're attracted to different people and colors and settings that goes beyond basic survival instinct. I mean, though I don't know how I'd live without it, I wouldn't actually die if someone didn't let me write.

I think its one of the reasons why i like writing so much. Writing stories I mean. I love creating the characters, mostly my main characters, because I can create someone with all of the depth, all of the layers, as every human being. I can show what makes them happy, what irks them, how they talk, every little idiosyncracy. I just like creating humans.

We're all so unique. It's really true. And its amazing that we all have these different souls. It can't be genetics or what we're brought up with. It must be something more. I don't think this is something that science can explain. I guess I'm a romantic, but I just love this idea of humanity.
