Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

Good grief there are so many ways to answer this.

Apart from physical appearance or DNA, which is not necessarily absolutely unique, what truly sets us apart is our experiences, and our reactions to them. And this is not something you can place a value judgement on, because you cannot ever truly know what someone else experienced. You can’t even say, “if I were them, I would have…” because, no. If you were them, you would have done the same exact thing. What you can say is, “if it were me in that situation, I would….”. That’s a very important distinction.

Every single one of us experiences life – even the same exact event – very differently depending on our past, our worldview, our frame of reference, etc.. Our life experience is truly the thing that makes each and every one of us unique.
