Why are we born different?

Why are our lives so different?

Some are kind, some are cruel. Some are beautiful, some not so.
Some are smart, some dumb. Some people get lucky. Some are healthy. While some suffer from chronic illness. Some live long, some die young. Some are happy, some are in pain.....the list goes on.

Why is we so difference? Is life just natures gamble? Or is there a reason why we are how we are?

We aren't necessarily born a certain way. There's a question about whether the way someone turns out is inevitable or due to the way they were brought up. That's the nature vs nurture debate. I think it's a mix of both. Peoples brains can work differently but the way someone is brought up obviously plays a significant role as well.

There is something I think about... people who are widly considered to be very attractive never seem to have issues that can't be overcome through learning, practice or determination, that have a negative social impact, like hayfever for example. I don't know what that means but it's something I've noticed.

@Redstar One look at the world in wider perspective makes you wonder. The difference is so huge. Even the fortunes, the calibers etc..
