Have you ever thought that there exists or existed at some time, or in any part of the world, a person physically identical to you? If you have thought about it or it has not yet crossed your mind, it can definitely surprise you that it is more than a simple thought.
According to the folk legends of various cultures, it is considered that there is a possibility that human beings have a doppelgänger, this term comes from German and literally means «double walker»; that is, a person who is physically equal to another. However, because it is a belief associated with a legend, it lacks credibility for society, but there are testimonies of people who have had the opportunity to find themselves in another body. This causes them a strong psychological shock after the event.
When we delve into the subject, it can cause us a quite complicated conflict to solve, and the question is to know which of the two human beings came first, because one must be the original and the other the «doppelgänger». In ancient times, could there have been someone who was the origin of this and of whom there are no traces?
This phenomenon is strongly linked to «bilocation», which is referred to as the appearance of the same individual in two different places at the same time or at different times. The term has been exposed by philosophical and mystical currents to express the reality of this phenomenon. The psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud also expresses himself about this supposed «double» and presents it as that image of himself that the patient has, although with many similarities, but which is also different.
It may seem like something far removed from reality; However, it is not; perhaps it is more everyday than we think, and although it is not as literal as all these currents and legends present it, we commonly know as «doubles» those people who seek to take advantage of their physical characteristics in order to gain fame and money because they look like actors. and famous people. We can also appreciate it in something that has become popular these days and is «the alter ego»; which is that personality that people repress but that, at times, takes over the body and acts in a completely different way than it normally does.
Whether real or not, all human beings must be clear about one thing and that is that there is something different in each of us, we will never be exactly the same as others, because even twins have different footprints. Let us be believers of any religion, we must know that we are in this moment for a reason, and that the universe grants each one of us a purpose.
