@yichusdik: In relation to what you were saying, R’ Akiva Eiger has a beautiful vort about individuality in Avoidas Hashem, and it emphasizes your point.

עתיד הקדוש ברוך הוא לעשות מחול לצדיקים והוא יושב ביניהם בגן עדן וכל אחד ואחד מראה באצבעו שנאמר ‘ואמר ביום ההוא הנה אלקינו זה קוינו לו ויושיענו זה ה׳ קוינו לו נגילה ונשמחה בישועתו

“In the furure, HKB”H will make a circle of Tzaddikim and He will sit between them in Gan Eden, and each of them will point with his finger and say “This is our G-d…””

R’ Akiva Eiger explains the significance of the circle. All the tzaddikim will stand in a circle, and HKB”H will be standing (כביכול) in the center. He points out that although they are each standing in very different places, and one side of the circle may be very far from the other side, all points in the circle are equidistant to the centre. And although now we cannot see it, לעתיד לבא we will see that they are all pointing to the centre, saying that “This is our G-d”; they all mean לשם שמים.
