Reasons behind the fever.

We're all just the same. A lot of people will go on ranting about how "everyone is unique", "everyone is special in their own way".
Those people are...how should I put it?...douchebags.

Yeah, OK, I guess we all think differently and we act in slightly different ways. But all this doesn't have any consequence whatsoever on who you are. And by "who you are", I don't mean what your favourite band is, or what types of movies you like to watch while gulping down full tubs of Ice-Cream when in a couple of hours you'll be dancing in a club wondering why your intestines are punching your skin.
No, "who you are" isn't what you think or any of your opinions on very seriously taken subjects like abortion or euthanasia. That "who you are" is the "who you are" from the end of a Hollywood movie. Or from the end of a life lesson from a teacher that thinks he is communicating and reaching out to you.

"Who you are" is a term that's bullied around and given a lot of shit. No matter how many cheeseball lines people throw at you, no matter how many morals are given to you at the end of predictable movies, "who you are" is not what you think about yourself and others.

"Who you are" is the big picture.
The fact that you're one of millions of others that are on this planet, trying to pick out some understanding and trying to develop thoughts that many others have thought before them. And they won't make a difference.
Nothing an individual does will ever make a difference.

But here's the catch: the fact is, that life is short. Very short. And you've just got to grab every chance of reason, insight, or happiness. But that isn't "who you are", it's just "what you're making the best of". "Who you are" has nothing to do with that.

People tend to make that confusion. Because it's convenient. It's easy.

"Who you are" differs with the point of view. Because humans are capable of lying. You could think all the vicious, sadistic, racist, psychopathic thoughts in your mind. But come out as a gentle flower to other people. That just brings us into the massive universe of human hypocrisy. I won't dive into it too deep, because I might find something that could incriminate me. Yeah, I don't want that. Isn't that hypocritical too?
You see! What I think or do doesn't stop me from being a hypocrit, even though I am an insightful hypocrit. That isn't "who I am".

Speaking of hypocrisy, the debate about the differences between men and women will always make me itch. It will make that scar (that I talked about in my last article) itch.
First of all, men have always been considered the superior sex. For many years. Now, women come out of nowhere claiming that they are equal to us, men. Their claims are completely legitimate and it would be stupid not to consider them. Women are equal to men. There's no doubt about it.
But the thing is, men are physically superior to women, and they have demonstrated it by shunning and smothering them throughout the years. That's why men have gained that "superior" reputation.

Now, I'm not against women who claim they are equal. No way. Men who are macho and see themselves as this year's Dennis the Menace, are moronic.
But women who consider themselves superior simply because the clichés of higher and lower society see men as "simple" or "easily controlled". And even if they claim that they are superior and all men retarded, they still pronounce these ridiculous phrases like "Ladies first!" or "Let the women do the honours". All of those phrases are correct and polite, but not when you claim you are superior!
Those women are just as foolish, if not more.

Those women try to define themselves as "who they are" by ranting on about what they think, what clouds up their mind and increases that frenzied pulse.
But that isn't "who we are" or who anyone "is". Women and men are equal. They always were and always will be. Men and women have always had two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears, one nose and one mouth. They both need each other.
The way they think is what's stirring up that unnecessary chaos.

Because that's the way it is. Humans are capable of lying, distorting the truth, reversing the truth, or just shoving the truth in other's faces even more violently. That clouds up "who we are". Who we all "are". Just creatures wandering around. Aiming to make a difference somewhere, somehow. Some of us give up. Others succeed, but that success stays personal.

It's simply because we can think that we can change "who we are".
It's an eternal fever traveling from the deep universe of hypocrisy to the galaxy of reason, to a world of lies, into a civilisation full of intelligence, but also full of crap, into the small space that this very article occupies.

But this article isn't "who I am".
I think differently, but on the outside, we're all just the same.
