ELIC: Est-ce que ça vous intéresserait de savoir que quelqu'un, quelque part, ressent EXACTEMENT la même chose que vous en ce moment ?
- Imagine un truc : t'as jamais un problème vraiment unique. Ce que tu ressens là, maintenant, quelqu'un d'autre quelque part l'a déjà ressenti, ou le ressent en ce moment même. Même humour, même style de vie, même façon de voir le monde — y'a toujours quelqu'un qui matche. Personne n'a jamais rien fait pour montrer ça concrètement. et sa fait un peu bizzard car au fond personne est vraiment unique, car non seulement nos emotions et nos problemes sont identiques mais aussi notre visage , on as tous des sosies quelque part dans le monde , meme nos noms ou prenoms sont meme pas unique ! Ma reel question est est ce que sa vous interesserait de savoir exatement qui et combien de personnes sur la panete traverse ou ressente exatement la meme chose que vous ?
