Similarities

I disagree with anyone that says there is no such thing as original thought, they are usually people with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. It is my intention to have original thoughts each day, that is not to say that others could not have had such thoughts before, but if acted upon the outcome can be original. You an I, if we had similar experiences and training can invent something new at the same time having never talked to one another, that doesn't mean our thoughts are not original, in fact we may take different approaches to reach the same solution.

What is that old saying? "There's nothing new under the sun."

Oh yes Vjval, we nearly always are duplicating something someone else has discussed or wrote or thought. It is us, the humans, we are more similar then we often think. Sometimes we want to be individual, but rarely in truth does it happen. Its okay.
