This is just a short 250 word excercise I did for a writers list.
There are six billion people on this earth. That is six billion individual: noses, mouths, pairs of eyes, the list can go on for miles. Some features are similar in appearance, but no two are identical. Even identical twins aren't exactly alike. Well, maybe they would be if we were all empty shells, aimlessly wandering around the earth. Fortunately that is not the case.

         Snowflakes move in different directions; they fall at different speeds; the ice crystals form in different patterns, all of those factors decide how the snowflake will be formed. This is a lot like how we develop as human beings. Our environment may decide our career path; how hard and how fast we fall may decide our faith in others. We all have unique goals, dreams, we all have identities that are completely different from any one else's. Our own back stories shape who we are, our sense of right and wrong, they decide what we believe in and why we believe in what we do.

         It is these traits that make us who we are. It's not our blue or green eyes. Nor, is it our blonde, brown, or red hair. It is our interests, our morals, our knowledge (or lack there-of) that makes us unique. It doesn't matter how “identical” anyone is on the outside, trying to argue that you are the same as someone simply because you two resemble each other, even if you two are a reflection of each other, is a moot point.
