We all have a little Squidward in us.

Even if you are a generally nice person, there are always those few people who push your buttons. We’ll call them Spongebob and Patrick.

Spongebob and Patrick have mastered the art of irritating Squidward. No matter what they do, they have the ability to drive Squidward up a wall with their antics. More often than not, Squidward blames this on their differences. Spongebob and Patrick are just not as sophisticated. They don't see eye-to-eye. Naturally, this drives Squidward to leave his home in Bikini Bottom and take up residence in Tentacle Acres, a community full of people just like him.

At first, Squidward is overjoyed. After all, who doesn't want to be surrounded by people with the same taste in music, food and activities?

But soon, he realizes that his monotonous utopia is not all that it's cracked up to be.

Everyone is the same. Everyday is the same. There's no variety; there's no excitement.

There's no Spongebob and Patrick to break up the monotony.

Though the duo angers Squidward regularly, they're also the ones who keep his life fresh on a day-to-day basis. They add a bit of diversity to Squidward's life.

Without diversity, Squidward's life seems perfect at first glance. He lives the life that he's always wanted, and there was minimal struggle to continue that lifestyle. But with diversity, his life was interesting. He never really knew what kind of shenanigans Spongebob and Patrick would present to him, and that was the beauty of it: the differences in personality prevented boredom.

The same is true with our society. It seems like a great idea to surround yourself with people that are just like you so that you can discuss books, movies, music, etc. It's always nice when you agree with people. But it's also nice to respectfully disagree with someone and debate with them. Differing personalities, backgrounds and experiences add spice to our lives. They give us stories. They keep our world from looking like Tentacle Acres.

If every person on this planet was just like you, life would be incredibly bland. Don't believe me? Just ask Squidward.
