Originality?


Does originality exist? Has originality or the mere thought of originality been merely constructed to form an illusion of greatness? An illusion of greatness that we can be and will be different and therefore perpetuate the continuance of the ideologies of society? I believe that in some sense true originality does exist, but then again true originality does not exist. The problem with something being able to exist and not exist at the same time is that how can something be and not be at the same time? It is because specifically dealing with time and the moment in space time that something can be and not be at the same time. Therefore, originality does exist sometimes and does not exist other times. Is originality simply a compilation of ideas put together in a new order to claim the right to originality? Or is it simply a brand new thought? It seems to imagine that anything could actually be a brand new thought because how would we know if these so-called original thoughts might be stemming from our subconscious? The point that I would like to make is that originality is perception.... Perception is what purely drives originality and how that originality is viewed by society. Is it not what others believe that dictate how your own idea or supposed originality is original? Originality, do I have any? Do I need any? Does anyone need any?
