Originallity is barely living. Think about it for a second......I have not seen, heard or been involved in anything original in a very long time. The same characters and plot lines are being used in books, TV and movies.....with very few exceptions. Music is becoming almost a joke now.....you have to search endlessly to find anything that is even worth listening to. Even ideas have been rehashed over and over....I am also guilty of this. I write about the same things over and over just in different forms, nothing I say can be taken as original or even novel. It is a trend that is starting to alarm me. I see how many of the things we use on a daily basis are actually detrimental to just thinking, coming up with original thought. When you are drilled with the same concepts over and over on TV, in the movies, hell...even in school, you have no real original thought process. Most of the ideas in this world came from a very simple place, but a place that has seemed to be going extinct.....imagination. Sitting down, and just thinking over the events that you have seen in life, processing them, dreaming of great things, just freaking day dreaming......they all produce something useful. Your brain needs time to just be by itself, be isolated into thought.....no distractions, nothing getting in the way.....just thinking. I have been surprised myself at what I think of when I stare at my ceiling for an hour or so.....things just become a bit clearer, and I start to get ideas. Everyone needs at least 2 hours a day to just think.....I think it will do the human race a hell of a lot of good. You have a brilliant device lying in your head, just waiting to be used.....but it is clouded with pre programmed thinking......let it loose and see what can happen. Originality only continues if you want it to.......don't let it die.
