My daughter is very philosophical in her views.  She’s also an incredibly compassionate person.  She spent the summer working at a homeless shelter, disadvantaged children’s school, and no telling what else.  Right now, while a student, she’s involved in a program that holds babies that have been abandoned.  She’s studying social work.

I think the thing that sets us apart as humans and makes us unique is our own
theoretical design of the ideal person. Each one of us has a mental perception
of what or who the ideal person is, but each of our perceptions differ in
numerous ways. We see a diverse spectrum of value in different character
strengths and view the severity of character flaws in different lights. Every
person strives to be that ideal person in their mind, in both conscious and
subconscious ways, and that is the strive to live up to one’s potential. The
ideal person that is in someone’s brain is also what they would look like at
their personal full potential. As a Christian, I think God gifted all of his
creation with different strengths and talents. He also constructed our brains
which make up who we are as people. We all have weaknesses to account for, but
using our diverse strengths to become our version of the ideal person in our
minds is what differentiates us as a diverse population. We are not unique,
simply because of who we are, but because of who we strive to be, which directs
the essence who we are.
