What do you need in order to cook some pancakes?
1.Flour
2.Milk
3.Eggs
The same ingredients apply for waffles, dumplings, cakes, cookies,pasta and lots of other dishes.
What do you need to make a new human being?
1. A human male
2. A human female
3.The fusion of cells the individuals above produce.
I won't divide new individuals into pancakes or waffles, but the idea is, that every human is different, despite that they are made of the very same cells(generally, I am also aware of genetics and other molecular things).
Let's go back to recipe of pancakes. What makes waffles and pancakes different? THE PROPORTIONS OF EGGS, MILK AND FLOUR. Maybe the same applies for humans?
A pair of twins is born. We put them into different places of world, let's say that they never meet.
Imagine, that the first twin is named Jonas and lives in average lithuanian family. The second twin Indy lives in... Africa.(for having a contrast).
Jonas will graduate from school, he will be introduced to literature, he may seek for a higher education which is pretty much possible to get in this country, he will have a possibility to work in other country, have a family with 1-2 children and that will be called successful life here.
Indy probably will never know how to read(unless some western organisation tells him how to), he will have nothing to eat, and the meaning of success will be pretty different in his life. Staying alive and maybe(?) helping the others to do so will be something amusing here.
Two twins of the identical cells.
But what if Jonas and Indy will live not so far away from each other? Let's say that Indy has grown up in Lithuania also, but chose the path that the others would take pity on. Becoming an artist, the leader of anti-poverty/art/animal shelter organisation. Being educated, yet different person that is yet to bloom. Yeah, he would have something that I'd like to call sparkles.
To explain the meaning of these sparkles I need to finish my idea about proportions. Proportions is something that your genetic material is and the environment you've grown up in(early years). For example Jonas is given 1/2 parts(mass) eggs(survival instinct), 1/4 flour(creativity), and 1/4 milk(logic), he has grown up in an usual lithuanian family(his priorities consists of having a job, forming up a family and having a successful life, he may make his choices carefully in order not to disappoint everyone). Indy may have all these ingredients as well, but but creativity and logic may be higher than his survival instinct, plus his environment was different(parents has a different point of view to the life, no parents at all or less care). Going through the usual routine the two boys understand things a bit differently(Jonas may think of how to make things easier and quicker, and Indy may think of the fun parts of the making stuff). They'll go through different paths and life will put some different sparkles(mistakes, joy, lessons, experiences) on them.
Jonas may be polite, responsible, hard-working... Indy may be a weirdo, maybe an artist or just a human with strange, sometimes misunderstood ideas.(that's trivial, these are just some examples). Both individuals are just fine, but even they are made from the same material, they are different as hell.
So there's a formula to human being:
x - the quantity of ingredient, the amount of x should be equal to 1.
1. A human being with genetic material(you cannot change that)
2. Raising him up. During this process you need to put
x love
x care
x priorities
x understanding
x time
x stuff you see important
3. Leave it to the life. It will put chocolate or vanilla on him, some sparkles. Your pancake can turn into awesome cake OR your cake will be just a muffin...
Remember, that genetic proportions may mean nothing compared to the stuff you and life give him.
Now..
Have a look. be proud no matter what.
