Not Special

You might be unique, one of a kind, unlike any other.

But that gives you no special status.

Even if someone takes you into the room, away from the crowd, and tells you different and says someone has to teach you, you are not exempt from the things that make you one of us all.

You are not really in a place that gives you privileges to do what you want without asking others.

Or believing you have powers and insight and knowledge that put you in a place to be treated like a king.

And if you think that you are only a slave to yourself, a thief of your own happiness.

Because when you are unique but not special, you are on the verge of being ready to be of use.

And that is the greatest power you can have, to be there for others instead of your status.
