by all means and laws and facts and rhymes and riddles and words,
explain to me what 'originality' is.
what is originality and creativity if we cannot see them the way they have to be seen ?
what is credit ?
why do we give people credit and why do we seek it ?
mostly, we all seek appreciation.
only, remove the word "mostly" so, you'll be left with the truth.
for that reason, credit exists.
i believe that the roots of originality lie in chance.
what would we be if we were all the same?
since it's the human mind/animal mind that seeks a variety in everything..just everything, right from colors to clothes to seasons to places to mates, what would we be without originality ? NOT human, definitely.
what makes originality, is accident.
creativity, is an accidental arrangement of what you have with you. originality is haphazard.
since you know and see the best example, i'll name our planet. what's 'organized' about nature ? she's random. she's wild.
you won't see the same landscape in two different places. no two pine trees are the same. even identical twins are different !
that's originality. just a planned and beautiful accident.
if it's really an accident and it is random, what credit need we, for what is created (by us?) in a freak accidental moment? for our originality isn't even original.
because, 'randomness' is a copied thought. we're like horses on race tracks. programmed to commit randomness. to randomly arrange things to get something that 'looks' different from the rest, is a copied thought. we are trained, right from the time we're born to know, that randomness will give us something that 'looks' new.
but that, is not originality.. that, is merely an illusion of originality.
seeking originality and pursuing it, by now, wouldn't feel like an awesome idea anymore, with all the hue and cry we make of it.
when we do not know what originality really means, there's no big idea behind chasing something you cannot understand. and for our perception of originality, credit ? i doubt there's a solid base to this.
it is indeed very easy, at such an elementary level of thinking, to say that giving up credit is no big thing, for credit means nothing. however, it isn't that easy to find a person satisfied in their own intention, seeking nothing from anybody else. no appreciation, no approval.
nevertheless, 'credit' is the most useless entity. it's as ridiculous as how badly we need it. in all honesty,i can't stop laughing at how badly i need the credit for things i do, though i know it's absolutely purposeless.
what we must possess for achievement is real ego.
whereas, what we do possess, is phantom ego.. what we put on display. and food for phantom ego, is credit.
behind that facade, there's fear.
anger is a part of phantom ego. it arises when we cannot digest a fact or when we cannot discard useless opinions, and it hits us at our insecurities. you cannot fight the truth, nor should we ideally have those insecurities to regard useless opinions as significant.
to be insecure, is not human. it's stupid. and to believe that it's human, is even more stupid. because, somebody's told you that too, right ? why blindly believe in something that's not original ?
why should satisfying others satisfy us ? why should we look unto another's smile for approval ? another's nod, to be sure ? what's to be sure about, when you know what you want ?
there are no original thoughts, because we live in fear of defying.
things we do looking for everybody else's approval is not selfless, it's just being insecure in self. it dissolves the purpose of existing.
it doesn't make us. it kills 'us'
every step you take from now, think of how much of 'you' there is, in it
