It would be lovely to have a clone who could represent you when you are unavoidably absent, like when you have to be somewhere but can't find the time to be there, or when you are sick and have a very important place or task to cover. Such are excuses that one could give for why having a clone would be nice.
I watched a movie some time ago where people can clone themselves, and they will have the clone perform all their necessary tasks, like showing up for work and even going out on a date, while theirs was to sit back home and relax. While this has crossed my mind at some point, it will not be the reason I will be discussing today for why I would love to clone myself, if possible.
I sit down sometimes to think that I'm too complicated to understand and get along with, so I take a lot of things from people even when I'm not supposed to tolerate them. I say to myself that maybe I'm overthinking it, and the behaviour of the person towards me is not as bad as i look at it.
This has made me think, and wished it were possible to make a double of me, someone who could understand me and see things through the same window through which I view the world.
Having a perfect relationship with another individual is one thing I sometimes fantasise about, and if I could clone myself without any error, then that would be possible.
Life will be more bearable when you have a perfect ally, one that understands you completely because you share the same experiences, love or hate the same things and will think or do things in the same manner and ways.
The need to translate, or rather explain myself, always to people, trying to make the next person understand my perspective is always exhausting; sometimes I just don't see the need to and will just let them take it as they see it.
The feeling that my way of experiencing the world requires a manual that nobody wants to read makes me feel like if I only had a way to clone myself, life would not be so difficult and would become more tolerant of me.
Having a double means that I don't have to filter my thoughts whenever I want to communicate with my double, no arguments about my intentions, my values, how I view situations, and I will have someone who will always validate my reactions and even my excesses.
While my thoughts may or may not be valid, I have also come to the realization that having a perfect ally is a human longing, but I have at the same time understood that real connection cannot be gotten from having a clone. It can only be gotten from finding people who, though they have a different view of the world, are still willing to stand next to you and want to know what you see.
