Unique Thought

This is more stream of consciousness writing because I can’t really come up with any short story style stuff.

An attempt to begin. The initial connection of pen tip to paper surface is both the simplest and most difficult action. Rambling is easy. Putting down others thoughts is easy. Simply taking words you’ve heard others say and putting your own stamp on them is easy. Unique thought is the problem. Well, the illusion of unique thought is the key. Unique thoughts, thoughts never before created, are almost non-existent. Everything we think, each supposed flash of brilliance we think we have is an amalgamation of our experiences. They are the mixture of readings, dialogues, writings, and things of this nature. What we are exposed to creates the concoction that is thought. Exposing oneself to the correct stimuli and creating seemingly independent concepts is the holy grail of writing; of idea creation; of the act of cracking open and spilling ones fleshy thoughts. The key is never taking any of these exposures as independent thought. When one finds pleasing idea, search for their influences. Find the ingredients for the recipe and add them to the master list running down the back of your head. One must realize what makes a positive and negative exposure. Answers are the enemy. If an ingredient shows you a finished dish, ignore it. Take answers and send them back to those who give them. They have given up on finding ideas. They have decided to allow their electric signals to crease, and to let their power facility rot and overgrow with vines. The question is the goal. Live and die with the question. What about the answer? It doesn’t exist. It never did exist. It never will exist. But, your sworn duty as a being gifted with thought is to forever search for this answer. The purpose of life is to string oneself from question to question forever advancing ones capability of unique thought.
