How words and language become "funny social games" post-awakeningbecome f

Look at the two words "strange" and "unique".

strange has a kind of negative ring to it, right?

unique has a kind of positive ring to it, right?

Imagine if a girl, you just met, calls you 'strange'. You will take that differently than if she had called you 'unique'.

The difference in value you internally make between the two words, unique and strange, is the work of ego.

For me, there is no difference.

However, I know that most people are not like me, so if a girl called me strange instead of unique, I probably know what she means about me. So in that sense if I want to merge to Oneness with the girl I'd like to make sure she calls me unique instead of strange:D So objectively there remains a difference, and I will also myself use the words as if there were a difference when talking to non-enlightened human beings. However, enlightened to enlightened, I couldn't care less if we used the words unique or strange. They are really the same.

What is unique is also strange
What is strange is also unique

Zero difference.

If there is any internal difference to you, then that difference is due to ego. I hope this small exercise can help people get some small self-insights. Love <3

Most people are strange but they hide it to blend in. 

Being totally authentic and showing your uniqueness can be good but there is a point when it becomes irrelevant and weird. 

There is a balance between being authentic and socially blending in.
