Just a few thoughts:
Like so many things in the universe, I think that balance and symmetry exist in the recognition that uniqueness and similarity occur simultaneously. The similarities are pretty easy to see. I see the differences as being robust, but not necessarily visible to everyone.
What is it that is meant by saying that people are "special" simply because they are unique? I would really like to hear more about what the meaning of the word "special" is, and what it is like to be told that you are not special, even though you are unique. There is a certain sense of belonging to humanity when everyone is deemed special rather than being isolated in their uniqueness.
