 BUDDY, BE ORIGINAL.

-                               
" BUDDY , BE  ORIGINAL "

Buddy, be original was what my friend sarcastically remarked. What the hell was he talking and stressing about? Where original, when original and what original was he  preaching about. From the on set of mankind, other than Adam and Eve, nothing is original. Everything is borrowed and aped. Ironic, even this statement I am contradicting, is borrowed. Logically, an interesting utterance to interpret and debate.

In the dictionary the word ORIGINAL is described and explained as primitive, earliest, new, not copied or derived, thinking or acting for oneself, eccentric, and bring into existence. Thereby making this communication “Buddy, be original” completely controversial.

Mankind has traveled through various phases of evolution, and at every stage has taken assistance from the earlier one, totally contradicting the subject. Generation after generation we have been borrowing thoughts, from stone age to the present technological advancement, from sign language, to dialects, to the present scripts all are derived and amended features.

God planted Adam & Eve to habitat the earth, then the first sin was registered since then mankind is perpetually committing sins, isn’t this an borrowed feature?

To sate their hunger the first apple was eaten, we need nourishment to survive, isn’t this an archetype trait?

They did indulge in sexual activities to fulfill their desires, are we not following this mannerism?

To safeguard themselves from the nature’s fury they took shelter in caves, leaves and animal hides to protect their bodies, now we wear clothes and reside under an roof to protect ourselves, isn’t this an copied characteristic?

Survival of the fittest was then the modus operand and we religiously comply with this quality. For self-defense our forefathers did make use of sticks and clubs, progressed to spears and swords and we today make use of guns, tanks,
and missiles to protect ourselves. We do adhere to our egoistic whims of being one up on the other, once again an aped hallmark.

If you assess these attributions logically one can draw the conclusion that, all what we do, say, write or claim are not a person’s original creation, concept or action but are derived   from  what we have learnt and  inherited from our forefathers and executed and reproduced by us in an amended form.

In culmination all that matters is how well we knit the knowledge and substance at hand and competently make our point of view heard, understood, accepted and assessed.

So if anyone says to me Buddy, be original, I would love to kick him hard on his backside and make him aware of the fact that both my retort and his utterance are borrowed action and statement.

Wow, that was quite original. Agreed, originality lies in expressing what we think ourselves.
Good post.

Brilliantly written and very explicit! I disagree with comments that you have vented off some anger over someone that passed a comment! (No offense to anyone plse) How can one be original even when even our time here on earth is borrowed? Compared to this, what significant does the word "Original" take? Everthing stems from the beginning of life, and moulded by what already exists! Your profoundness and understanding depicts the deep level of maturity that you have in matters that is just accepted by society!

OMG OMG OMG OMGOMGOMGOMG! LALAJI....u think similar to how i did a while back. i wasnt provoked by anyone though, as is the case with u. guess what i concluded theres only one couple that claim to be original and thats adam and eve and darn they were original SINNERS at that.some dubious honour eh?
well we are all(our words/thoughts et al) merely to a large extent reflection of our circumstances-the company we keep,the books we read,the shows we watch and so on nd so forth! some of us do the BORROWING from other sources part in a very subtle manner and the rest of us do it rather blatantly. therein lies the difference. but then again, u cd just as well borrow an idea and throw in a generous dash of laljiness or sazziness in my case to it and VIOLA..u have something that coud perhaps pass for something ORIGINAL? mite i BORROW what i read elsewhere? U ARE UNIQUE,JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE? ironical eh?
have ya heard airsupply's number-out of nothing at all?? sorry i digress

----------well, i'd like to make just three observations------one is that, i do agree that there is nothing original left; what ever is to be said, has been said; and i luv that penultimate para of yours; that about sums it up and i agree with that---------

------but then, as for as survival, shelter and sex are concerned, they are not necessarily what we ape; they are basic human needs and even if we didn't have our ancestors to ape, we'd still have done all that---------

----------and as for being original on the blogs, well, i guess it's a must; writing is a serious business; no playing with it; forwards and copy/cut pastes could stay with our e mail IDs; why need to post them on blogs where we expect something new(notice, i haven't used the word original) and also look forward to some sharing of thoughts-------like this--------this post is good------tks for sharing
