Every sentence in my head...someone else has said

Everything I do has been done before.

Is there nothing new under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 1:9

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun

Alas, there is nothing. It's kind of sad. All I can do is reinvent, replay, remold. Humans are masters of recreation. I began to feel depressed when I considered that. But I read an article that changed my mindset. It read:

There is a concept that creativity is the invention of something original. This is misleading:

a) Originality implies a break from the past. In fact, all ideas are evolutions of previous concepts.

b) Creativity is cumulative and incremental. Newton said he “stood on the shoulder of giants.”

c) Creativity can be defined as recombination. It is the creation of something new post the combination of elements that have previously existed.

d) Creativity can be defined as involving novel but useful solutions. Therefore it is a relative term. And has practical dimensions.

e) Creativity can have degrees – the expression of unusual thoughts, the experience of the world in novel ways, the affecting of significant change. All are grounded to that which exists.

So I can write without worry now. :)

at the end of my life is an open door
