What if all of us looked alike ??!!

This is something that I have been pondering over years..

While each and every other living being in this world looks alike ( obviously within their own 'clan'), Why is that only in the 'Human Clan' all look different.?

The reason cannot be for 'Recognition' purposes alone because the 'cats' and 'dogs' not only recognize but also communicate with each other with no sense of confusion of who's who.( Truly Amazing!)

The scientific answer to my question is the DNA(Deoxy riboNucleic Acid).
The main function of a DNA in living organisms is to duplicate itself. A sequence of several DNA's form genes which is the main reason for the physical characteristics of a living being. DNA might sometimes undergo sudden changes called mutations. This is the reason for different features. Also, it depends on where the genes are placed on the chromosomes.(bloody hell!!)

Lets forget Science(I forgot long back) for a moment and connect with (much more relevant) Fantasy!

Imagine .. What if all of us looked alike???!!!
Now There arises the choices like whom should all the Humans look alike.?

Lets take 2 choices.

a) Aishwarya Rai.
or
b) Nelson Mandela.

I am sure that you are able to understand I have taken two opposites!

Aishwarya Rai is generally been the adjective to beauty even though many people do not subscribe that she is beautiful now.Nevertheless , she had been my first big crush and hence I believe she is or was beautiful.


Now if everyone looks like ASH.. Imagine..
Every person would look beautiful...

Positives:-
a) No Beauty Contests.. No Miss World , NO Mrs World.etc etc.
b) No selling of Fairness creams..
c) The World looks beautiful.
d) No gory people.. ( Even Beggars would be beautiful)

Negatives:-
a) People would forget ugliness as a factor.
b) Boredome!
c) Confusion of who's who?

Nelson Mandela has been an adjective to the Human Spirit!.He represented the Humans fighting against all odds.However sorry my friends , He looked ugly.

Imagine what if all of us looked like Mandela.

Positives:-
a) Hey!. Mandela would become the adjective of beauty!. No one is Beautiful after all.
b) The concept of Fair skin would become irrelevant.( It was what he fought for)
c) There is no Inferiority/Superiority Complex on Beautiful/ugly issue.

Negatives:-
a) The World becomes a ugly place. People would lose appetite for beauty.
b) Repeation, It is boredome..
c) Same.. Confusion of who's who.?

So, analysing the pros and cons and touch reality , it does feel that being oneself is what most prefer.

Whomsoever the Humans might look like the real beauty lies in the Heart of such a person i.e The Inner Beauty.(Fun apart , the ancillary objective of this blog was send across this message)

I would prefer to be a Mandela rather than ASH. I believe most of you prefer the same.

P.S.
I have not brought in the 'Gender' factor in this blog just to avoid 'complications'.(more so after being in the 'line of fire' on this topic of late ..lol)
