Everyone wants to be unique.
Very few people are.
I'd go so far as to say no one.
No one, at the core, lives their life on an absolutely revolutionary path.
For, in reality, others have always faced the same things in the past.
And... That's a good thing.
There's no new questions to stump you.
There's no new temptation to trip you up.
There's no situation that hasn't been wrestled with previously.
Why is this a good thing?
Because you can learn the lessons from others before you...
You can go to people for I've-lived-through-this advice...
You have examples, both good and bad, to glean wisdom from...
Unfortunately, in a culture where everyone wants to carve out their own path, we can miss the opportunity to see that being a part of the rich tapestry of life and faith is a blessing.
