Summary

This quote emphasizes the uniqueness of individuals and critiques the conformity prevalent in society. It suggests that just as nature creates diverse and distinct entities like flowers and pebbles, it has also made every human being unique. However, the fear of being different leads us to conform, resulting in a society where everyone looks and acts the same. The quote questions the need for such uniformity and states that, like the ever-changing patterns formed by frost on windows, embracing and expressing our individuality can bring beauty and diversity to the world.
