Ever receive one of those "You are special" greeting cards? How can everyone be special?

And if you are special, does the greeting card imply special in a good or bad way?

Reply:"Special," from the Latin specialis, "individual, particular" (see "species"). So everybody is "special" simply by virtue of not being anybody else...lol.





Now there's "special" in the Olympic sense - you know, that "PC word mostly used by liberals," as one of your more "special" answerers says. I suppose you can interpret your Valentine in that way as you will.

Reply:Wouldn't everyone being special inturn become the norm? Therefore the previously normal ones would become special?





...Owww, my head...

Reply:We are all special. Every person is unique. And as we grow we can become even more unique.





At the core of our uniqueness is our 'diamond'. We are born:


Full of calm, joy and hope; Intelligent, curious and creative; Zestful, courageous, strong; Cooperative, loving, lovable and giving, And most importantly loving ourselves.





However - as life progresses and the people around us have a vested interest in our conformity - this is stopped and an attempt is made to make us conform to others image of what we should be. And thus the defence mechanisms are born. These are for us to survive in a world which demands our subserviently.





Those who would have us believe otherwise are just people who have to control. This is their defence mechanism.





The right wing and extreme religious need us to be good little conforming lap dogs so we will obediently follow them into their hell, which is what they create on earth to justify the mythical heaven.





THROW OFF YOUR CHAINS - DISCOVER HOW UNIQUE YOU ARE - YOU DO NOT NEED A GREETINGS CARD - JUST THE GUTS TO EXPLORE WHO YOU REALLY ARE.





Believe me - if Hitler had been helped to see his and others specialness 100 million people would not have died.





Love and peace to you
