Isn't Everybody Unique?

Some of my colleague told me that I am different. Some even think my difference seems wierd.

I take it as more like commenting, or actually complaining.

I have only one thing to tell them. Shouldn't I? Am I entitled, at least, to be me?

OK, they may say such as I am of a different wavelength. And of course I admit.

I may not eat the things they eat. Eggs, durians, or whatever.

I may not listen to the music they delve in, be it '80s Malay male and female pop, or whatever.

I may not drive the "normal" cars like them. Protons, Peroduas et cetera.

I may not look at the same features of girls like they do.

I may not humiliate the bosses or colleagues like they always do. I always believe in reserving my comments about other people.

I may not chat much about football, or anything much that they chat about.

I may not accept certain aspects of things getting thrown at me like other people.

I may not appreciate or watch certain sports or certain TV programs like them, football included.

I may have different opinions on certain things, be it similar or different from them, but then again, I do think I am entitled to voice out.

I may not work at the office the same way they do. Although I do believe I need to work harder.

I may not dirty my lungs with cigarette smokes like they do.

I may not have the facial feature they like. Or they think I don't look friendly enough.

I may not have the same dreams of owning a house or driving hire-purchase cars like they do.

I may not mix much like all my colleagues. I may seem to love my cubicle, not like most that loves to move around.

Nevertheless, I did not tell them they are different.

I know people are unique. And they have all the rights to being that. I just appreciate the simple beauty of it.

I may not listen to Adam Ahmad every morning like somebody I know did. And I didn't pester people with my music (hence the headphone collection I have).

So, I thank the people that said I am. Thus I think, I am entitled to be just myself.

Isn't uniqueness interesting?
