I have thought about this for a long time, here goes. If everyone is special then we all fall under the category of special. Therefore no one is special. But by not being special we break away from the category of "special" and are once again special and the cycle continues. So are we special or not?

we are unique, lol what you're saying is a paradox...it's like asking weather the chicken or the egg came first.

That is easy though. The chicken came first because without the heat from the chicken the egg would die.

Look at it this way to stop from over-thinking and confuzzling yourself:

We're special because [insert name] said so!

It's one of those things where you shouldn't ask further questions and waste half your life on it

Being special in this case is relative to the situation. For instance if you could sing well and were in a room full of people who can't, your ability to sing would be considered rather special. Similarly if you were just another person in a room full of people who could sing well, it might not be regarded as all that special. But compared to the room full of tone def people the room full of singers might be regarded as special.

ââ/ËspÉÊÉl/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [spesh-uhl] Show IPA
Use special in a Sentence
See web results for special
See images of special
â"adjective
1. of a distinct or particular kind or character: a special kind of key.

The above states that different means special. So, automatically, every person in the human race is special, since none are exactly the same. But not for long, thanks to 'cloning' that's been happening.

Ahhh, yes but by being special we all go into the category of special making us not special which removes us from the category of special thus making us special once again and thus it goes on and on and on.

This isn't mega hard. It's not even mildly difficult. Everything is special; much less the human race. It depends on the observer. I could say that the rock I picked up in the desert is a rock, a distinct rock that is special because there is no other rock in the world that is quite like it. It is unique, and yet, it is a rock.

There is no human on this planet like me, and yet, I am a human. Everything is special and nothing is special. You just have to make up your own mind and percieve it in the manner you choose.

how about this im special because im different to everyone else but instead of going to the special category i go to the

special group for people who have an internet name that is leo99rules (and what ever else that i have thats different to everyone else i could go on for ages but you dont want to see that)

so then i am the only one in that group so im special same goes for everyone else we are all in the special group because we are all in the group that is exactly like us and since there is no one exactly like us we are the only one in that group so we are special

oh yeah and always add NO CLONES at the end of the group because there is a group called

clones of people who has a internet name of leo99rules (and whatever else is different about me)

if you dont understand that please get someone who can to translate it

Everybody is special, IN THEIR OWN WAY! Is that so hard to understand!

EVERYBODY IS UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY! IT'S NOT CALLED UNIQUE IF YOU'RE UNIQUE EXACTLY LIKE ANOTHER PERSON!
People might have some things in common, but never everything!

We are all special in our own way therefore we are unique in our way of being special. Therefore we are all special, but not in such a way that we would all be normal because we are all special because we are all uniquely special.
Does that make sense to you?
That was easy, by the way. Not "Mega Hard".
