This sentiment has always been an inspiration to me. Because I have always felt that more people need to accept the idea of just being you. Flaws, faults, talents, passions, and all and that is what makes you the perfect you, not adhering to someone else's idea of what makes anyone perfect because it is a trite sentiment at this point due to over use but that does not change the validity of the idea, "If we were all the same the world would be a boring place" and that is very true because there would be nothing to life if we were all the same. As a writer one of the first things you learn is a story without some kind of conflict is a boring story. There have been very few people who have been able to follow the story of an Average Joe's life without conflict and create something and even in those stories, there may not be an external conflict that affects the person but it may be a study of the internal conflict that happens within each of us in various forms throughout our lives. But how is this internal conflict created? Is it pure manifestation without provocation? Most of the time the answer is no. The conflict is created through seeing differences in how other people live their lives, how they treat other people, the things other people value, faiths and beliefs that some people have and others don't or that are different than each other. So almost always conflict is created through differences and growth almost always is created through conflict and enlightenment or happiness is almost always created through growth. So to my mind not having conflict through differences would mean not having happiness and enlightenment in life.
