The need to be differentiated

An open plan office. Walking past "workstations" with low dividing walls.

Everyone decorates their workstation. A picture here, there a calendar. Sometimes there are collcetions of things, like the minature teddy bears in an ordered row, queueing up to pay homage to the yellow rubber duck.

We all yearn to differentiate ourselves, yet we seek the safety of conformity, of acceptance by our peers.

When is enough?
