I’m not really sure of the original intention of the snowflake saying. I’m beginning to think that individuality is over rated, and that human being is a shared endeavour.

There’s something more fundamental that binds us: the experience of knowing that we’re alive and not really knowing why and having a mild panic about it every morning when you wake up and remember who you are (that’s my very unsexy definition of the human condition.)

So sure, *maybe* all snowflakes really are different (it only takes one apple to be misaligned!) but snowflake singular doesn’t make much of anything let alone snow.

What a great line--“snowflake singular doesn’t make anything--let alone snow.”
