That's an Important point, ArmyLady -- every person is unique.
For that matter, in general, statistical truth is NOT THE SAME as individual truth -- both in human life and everywhere else.
For instance, "Men are taller than women" - a STATISTICAL truth, but often WRONG when applied to individuals.
We are all the same (we are souls in DNA based bodies, members of a single biological family, who need food, air, water, etc) and yet we are all different -- with unique DNA, preferences, viewpoints, strengths and weaknesses, and so on.
Our sameness makes empathy and compassion possible - and necessary.
Our uniqueness makes freedom equally necessary, both for the mental and emotional health of individuals and for the proper working of society.
Anything that ignores or denies either of those elements is flawed and potentially dangerous.
