I've always been very conscientious of the things I've done,
walking, talking, eating, drinking, you name it. It’s like I thought there was
some sort of written social order that dictated how everyone is to do the
simplest of activities. There was no realization that I did something as equal
as another; everyone does everything differently, nothing is done the same, or
so they tell us. They call us individuals, a singular person or thing. I’m not
so sure about you, but I always thought of an individual as a person or thing
with original characteristics or traits, defining characteristics and traits,
only given to that individual person or thing. Even the idea that they, whoever
“they” are, group us all together, and refer to us as ‘they’, is an obvious sign
that we are pretty similar, that we are not truly individuals. All of our
thoughts, defining characteristics, quirks, everything about us that make us
unique, are shared.
Most, if not all, of our thoughts have been thought by
someone prior to us. For example, take an inventor, obviously the inventor is
thought to have developed an idea that no one has ever thought of before. In
all reality, there was some person, somewhere, that had had that same exact
thought. That’s right, your million dollar idea has already probably been
thought of and could be in the process of being tested or utilized somewhere
right at this moment. The only difference between your invention, other than a
few parts and methods, and theirs is that you may actually patent it and make
money off of it. Congratulations, you have committed idea theft, and were paid
for it.
Anyways, the point is, there is someone out there that was
just as conscientious as me about the little things, how loud it was when they
ate, or if they walked a little weird. It does not matter now; everyone does
the same thing at some point, or thinks the same thought.
