Distinguish yourself!

We have drawn different tickets in the lottery of life. We all look different and unique. We live in different parts of the city. After elementary school, we are divided into different schools. We speak different languages. We have different hobbies. We are sorted by gender. Some laugh loudly and some laugh softly. We don't all have the same amount of money. We were affected by the pandemic in different ways. We have different dreams and wishes. People are different from one another. Differences and distinctions between people are a two-edged issue. Some are voluntary and some are involuntary, some are visible and some are invisible. What is certain is that we grow into social orders and classifications.
