Too Much Sameness


Cartoon by Adriane Saunders

The cartoon caption reads: “Certainly we have our differences, but more depressing are our samenesses.”

Familiarity may or may not “breed contempt.” But, for sure familiarity does breed homogenization, like pasteurized milk.

For those who like life UNpasterized or raw, homogenization is an UNappealing prospect. A life full of surprises, no two experiences alike, challenges homogenization.

Which we prefer, sameness or surprise. shows in our faces and in our gestures. Notice the difference!
