I do not want to wander too much here.
We tend to try to put into perspective, our physical being. We know that there are going to be differences among the general population. Male and female. We just never take the time to observe these differences. A mole here, a mark there, differences. Things that can be observed when not covered by clothing, not to mention mental and biological differences.
For an example. When we die, do we retain our so called male or female appearance? Why? What need could there possibly be for this representation any longer? It is an earth bound thing only. The species required the differences to make the system work. Other than that, there is no further need after death for such a "space suit."
My point here is simple. There will always be these differences, both physical and mental. Some will come to understand them, others will not. If you take 100 die made with one and only one different (1 - 100)number on each die, toss them into the air, and no matter where they land, the same number set will always be in view. But add a different color to each side of the die, on each one, with no duplications in color on any of the 100 die or sides and perform the same event. Suddenly, we have statistics, algebraic variables that need to be considered each time the 100 die are tossed into the air.
Take 100 people of the same race and sex, toss them into the air....just kidding!
I spend a great deal of time examining "Chaos" theory. This is what makes things so interesting. On any given day you may meet someone in agreement with you or just the opposite or they may have no opinion on the subject at all.
Chaos theory removes the boredom of life, by throwing in a constantly changing set of variables. No two days are the same in every way.
We are as a species forever intertwined into 2 major groups, with subtle differences that create additional groups all the while we are all within the boundaries of the human species.
We can never realistically hope that others will one day recognize us unless as in the gay community, we are visible to the majority in a positive way. Even then, as I have spoken of before, we are the "aliens" that the majority fears most.
People that look like the majority but are different. With all of our rules, we break those taboos and rules that have been established to monitor and control the majority. Life is about control. Control that none of us really have. We just think we do. When we find this out, we try to elliminate the rule breaker, to gain back the control that we think we have lost, while actually we never had it.
In closing, to make it simple, the next time you are driving down the highway, consider how little control you have over the driver that is coming at you on the other side of the road! We can make decisions based on statistics and their statistical outcome, but we cannot control the result of a decision, we just live it.
Oops! Too much caffeine before bed time!
