Double Mint Twin

I have heard so many times that I look like someone familiar. I know that there must be several people in Houston that look very similar to me because the chances of only one other person looking like me is slim compared to the amount of times I have been asked that question.

I can say that I have experienced the opposite side of that question. I saw someone that I could have sworn was a mirror image of that person. But not only looks, mannerisms, style of dress, the complete doppelganger of that person. And now I know why they stare at me in the past when they would experience the same thing. It is hard not to stare because you want to know just HOW similar is that stranger to the person you know.

Are we really not as unique as we would like to think in this world? It's like I'm in the Twilight Zone or someone is playing a trick on me.

I recently read a book where the main character thought that god was prankster or loved to see us in pain. It's times like these that I tend to agree with that character. Is it because I keep lighting and blowing out that damn candle?
