(1) Sameness and difference are a matter of context and point of view, change and continuity often two sides of the same coin.
Eric
Sameness- similar
Difference- opposite
Matter- important
Context- condition
Point of view- seen
Change- alter
Continuity- progression
Same- alike
The sameness and differences that I experience in my life may not matter in a few years but it is easy to see from my point of view that I’ve changed and i'm not the same person; continuity has escaped and the context of who I was is gone.
New Words: It is important to know that some are similar and some are opposite, but to not be caught up in the conditions and and progression that may alter our life to make us seen as more alike to other people around us.
Felt experience: I’ve seen myself grow into the complete opposite of what I once was. Sometimes I question if any of my qualities are similar to who I was when I was younger. I think I am on the right track to a life of success and fortune one day as my progression makes me stronger.

Same
One’s point of view can change or remain the same based on the context and continuity of different situations.
Equally
Apart

Meaning
Perspective
Different
Proceed
Identical
Restructure: Identical objects proceed to be equally different because when they’re apart the meaning can vary depending on various perspectives.
Felt experience: Throughout my life as a student, I have learned to be accepting of identical and different people’s perspectives. I always allow people the necessary time to explain the meaning behind their thoughts. This has allowed me to proceed on in life and look at things in a new light.
