Life is Unique

Life is made from very few building blocks, mainly because we are all related on Earth and come from the same common origin. Over the years, ancestors pass the same building blocks down from generation to generation. Life is what distinguishes organic matter from inorganic matter – in my opinion, a human being from a rock. Life separates things that can think for themselves, reproduce, and change from inorganic matter. In my opinion, I do not think life is special. In the Oxford English Dictionary, special is defined as “better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual,” but my question is – who defines what is “usual”?

My definition of usual is different from what Johnny thinks is usual. Everyone has his or her own opinions. I think that life is more unique than “special”. Unique is defined as, “being the one and only of its kind.” No one in the world is the exact same as anyone else. Everyone has their own look, personality, point of view, bias, and individual characteristics that distinguish them from another person. The word “special” may insinuate that the human race is different, but what is it different from? How does it differ? There is no other “living” thing to compare the human civilization to. In my opinion, everyone has certain characteristics that identify him or her from another person, these characteristics might be similar to those of another person, but are not exact. Everyone has different views and opinions which makes up the person you are, from the outside appearance to the internal process of thought – everyone is different and unique in their own way.
