After a very interesting conversation with my parents, they said a very intriguing thing. How much thought or how many of our ideas is actual original thought? These days with oversaturation of information, how many of our ideas is ours wholly. When we write papers, its really just a combination of whatever thoughts or ideas someone else already said. Yes our personal experiences and views stem from what we do, read, and etc. and in a sense makes our physical and mental being individual but how much of our thoughts are actually our own?
In addition to any comments to what I said, I would also like to see if we can come up with any original ideas. I for one at the moment cannot think of one.

I'm thinking I should say more, but, for your question, there's not much more I can say other then very, very little.

Originality is the fine art of remembering something, but forgetting where you remember it from.
