2. Individual differences are the facts that
make people different from each other.
We all know that we are different from
each other.. in many ways such as : our
physical aspects, our likes, dislikes,
interests, values, psychological makeup
and the list goes on. In other words... the
whole "Personality".
No two people or animals can be THE
SAME, they can only be similar. If there
would be no individual differences there
would be no quarrels and moreover..
there would be no Love too !!
