Seeing pictures of my friends kids on facebook, and seeing how much these kids look like their parents, really makes me think that none of us are singularly ourselves. That the concept of pure individuality is a childhood illusion.
Also, last night I learned the following:
All humans have 2 genomes. The genome of DNA in chromosomes, and the DNA in mitochondria. We inherit the second genome solely from our mothers, and this genome is identical to that of our mothers. Beyond that it’s identical to our mothers mother, and our mothers mothers mother and so on.
So, it’s not that anyone ever grows up to be their mother, it’s that We Have Always Been Our Mother!…ALWAYS!!!!
Take that home and think long and hard about it kids.
