Don’t you get it? There is no other you. Out of the six and a half billion people on earth, not a single one of them has had the same experiences in life that you have had. None of them share the exact same passions and struggles. None of them have lived your life. None of them. You are the product of you, and nothing else. Every decision you have ever made over your entire life has led you exactly to where you are right at this moment. Simplified… You are you because of you. I am me because of me. And everybody else is everybody else because of what they did to get there. Because of their own choices. Because of their own paths. There is no “normal” because there isn’t a single common trait shared by “everyone”. There is nothing that everyone is doing or that everyone is. ↗

Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem. ↗

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour. ↗

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. ↗

To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you, too, can be president of the United States. ↗
