miche finds it amusing how watching the most mundane of things can actually trigger her thoughts into something vaguely philosophical. So it was the episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S where rachel buys an apothcary table from pottery barn and lies to phoebe that it was a one-of-a-kind table from the days of yore as phoebe hates anything which is not one of a kind. rachel then goes over to ross's place where she realises to her horror that ross bought the same table. she tries to get ross to hide the table and ross blurts out to rachel that twins are not one of a kind.

that was what that got miche thinking.

identical twins = two of the same embryo = therefore, not one of a kind

HOWEVER,

twin births are in fact one of a kind = ergo, twins are special.

but isnt that an irony of nature, rather a paradox, that we are all simultaneously one of kind and yet not.

hmmm... same goes for triplets, quadruplets and the list goes on. how funny God can be.

i am starting to learn not to expect anything from you and take it all in my stride. perhaps this is the best way to deal with the situation and we can be what we really want to be.
