ORIGINAL?

Is anything original or is everything original?

Our ancestors created us, so we as critters aren’t physically original. We’re replicas. We didn’t make up our language or symbols. We just learned ’em.

So the stuff we create, like photos, isn’t original either. It came before us. We just gathered the existing pieces together.

On the other hand (it’s good to have two hands) everything must be original. Even if everything is composed of events and matter from the last 14 billion years, it ain’t never been composed in just this way before. This is new.

So even if something you do seems similar to something else, it’s still original. Go create.
