to be like or unlike

just saw a post on stomp that reads, "we need more iconic spots like this in bangkok".
interestingly though, i wonder why do we need things like someone else. and do we really need to be like someone else?
when we don't have it, we complain and say we need to be like them. but when we have it, we are just copycats.
take the singapore flyer for example. we are copying the london eye. worse still, we cannot match up to the yokohama ferris wheel. we should be like them.
it's funny how whoever we are like, we always pale in comparison to someone else. and when we finally match that better someone else, we are just another copycat.
we probably top the world rankings for cynicism. me? i'm cynical about cynics. that may be why i'm contributing to the stats.
