This seemingly uncomplicated phrase can well be the solution to some of the greatest our problems. It stands for how one should represent himself/herself in a way that best highlights everyone’s individual self.
As of October 2024, the world population stands at 8.2
billion. With the human species sharing nearly 99.9% DNA, you can take any two people
from two extreme ends of the world and still see that they will both bleed if
they get a cut, or that they will both sweat in a place with a temperature of
50 degrees. Despite sharing almost all of our DNA with other human beings, the
0.1% difference stands to markedly distinguish one from the others.
With so many overlapping common traits, characteristics and features,
there is a sense of fear, insecurity and competition. However, at the core of
every human personality is the need for belonging and acceptance. Imagine if we
all encouraged everyone to hold to their 0.1% variants and trust them to be the
best with their individuality.
You do you. The world would be less insecure and judgemental,
if we collectively tried to live by this saying. I emphasize the word “tried”,
because an effort is all one ever needs. To make a difference. And such things usually
need a more voluntary approach to see effect. Anything over and above that is a
campaign.
So, are you ready to embrace the world with You do you?
