I have this friend who's kind of dead set on thinking his immediate family defines everything about him. It's like a competition to him, trying to outdo his father and brother. He thinks he's a substandard copy. And I think it just drives him insane.
I guess it kind of just got me thinking. Whether that kind of stuff really mattered or not, I mean. I know I got into the same line of work as my father because I wanted to. But it's really not the same for him; he's convinced being a carbon copy is something terrible.
...There's a little cloning involved, but that's really just a matter of semantics. What he doesn't get is that he's always been his own individual, and it's not really necessary to prove anything. At least, I don't think it is.

Sorry. I think I'm talking too much again.
