ORIGINALITY:
PART II
_________________
There
is only originality of thought -- not of body, not of
feelings, only of thought.
There
is only one way to eat food, and someone has already eaten everything edible,
and people have slept every place from caves to trees,
and
every possible sexual position has been long ago tried.
And
there is nothing new in feelings: people have already been: angry, discouraged,
outraged, fearful, pushy, self-pitying, ostentatious, and everything else:
see
the fact -- face the fact -- see fact run.
There
is only one area in all of human life in which there is any possibility
for originality -- and that is thought..........................................and
it is squandered.
The
only times it is not (which are always crucial) is
when thought is assisting body
in
survival behavior (for instance): left to its own
devices, a man’s body would forever fetch water from a stream and carry
it to where the man needed it;
only
his thought would, could do anything outside instinct and habit
(be original)
and conceive of constructing a windmill to drive a wheel,
and
pump the water to where it could be best used --
but
other than for such rare circumstances in your own life, ask yourself:
Also
early on note and accept the fact that every normal human on this planet,
if
asked whether they practice originality-in-thought will assure you firmly
in
the affirmative (but majority-speak proves what? --
everyone says that
their stock
analyst is “The exception,” and that people who annoy you now
will get what
they really
deserve -- after they die).
Although
there is no reason to do so, if you did tell an ordinary person that
under
the everyday conditions of their life -- they are never original-in-thought,
they
would instantly, and patronizingly dismiss you -- in fact, to their
mind,
their
analysis and spurning of your statement is an active example of
their
mental originality -- their ability to, “think-for-themselves”
(as
they like to call it,
[and do you not
appreciate the subtle humor in their denial of the idea, inasmuch as can
you imagine any human ever agreeing
with it -- “original thought” indeed -- right.]).
Sufficient
to note: ordinary thought -- when queried -- claims
originality,
and
to see that it is totally lacking therein requires unnatural --
originality-of-thought,
(in different
words: you can never personally realize that you live in Salt Lake City
unless you get
out of Salt Lake City and can then look at the place from outside,
and are able
to see where it is that you have been residing all this time --
-- and
no one ever does......well -- no run of the mill person
ever does) -- but --
on
the other manual formation, be it noted that routine people have no need
to;
being
not plagued by the desire for originality in their thoughts,
they
can simply accept what someone else says about it,
who
claims to have been outside the city, and thus has a full understanding
of
the
human situation (being a sycophant [especially one feigning ignorance
thereof]
has its rewards,
not the smallest of which is a life time of conserved mental energy
[‘course that
does raise the question of -- naw! -- it would be ill
mannered to ask:
“Conserved the
mental energy and put to what more profitable use?” -- no, don’t
go there,
it would only
upset the lemmings and lapdogs]) –
thus
do there historically be a never ending supply of words (to match
demand)
that
purport, from a few men, to tell the rest of men what is going on in this
thing
they
commonly refer to as, life –
thus
are men spared the needless effort to figure it out for themselves --
--
which would require -- originality-of-thought.
Dramatic
burlesque is being herein species-wide applied in that men’s brains are
not wired for originality except in matters related to survival, and certainly
not in the various recreational affairs which fill the remainder of their
lives (read: most of their lives).
In
their free time, no man, and no man’s mind has any need nor desire for,
originality-of-thought
-- the lone exception is a man born with TheRash
–
plopped
onto this planet wearing round his cortex, a crunch-time-watch
which
renders his mental, “recreational time” not so casual as everyone else’s
--
--
no less enjoyable -- just not so easily filled and satisfied.
While
other people’s minds contentedly spend their free time
wallowing-in
the always available, thoughts-in-the-public-trough,
the
exceptional man’s brain (in one area) has a skin blistering
that
keeps him from being able to gratifyingly partake of the common thought
fare;
it
is not that he cannot ingest it like everyone else --
--
it just affords him no nourishment;
it
can be enjoyable, same as an artificial sweetener --
but
for such a mind, no thought, not original with it, has any nutritional
value;
the
ideas, great and small, of humanity the whole are one and all --
empty calories.
Again
footnote that ordinary people need nothing more in their mental
snacks –
in
their thoughts about all of the matters which exist only in their inner,
mental reality,
which
includes all notions of themselves, and the purpose of life
beyond
that of merely surviving (with the native assumption that there
be such),
but
a man born with a non standard spirit of mental-plus adventure must have
more substantial provisions -- and there are none naturally
laying about on this planet
to
be found and picked -- he must create them for himself;
there
are none to be harvested -- they must be totally invented by his
mind,
same
as was the entire realm that contains the things which
his
natural thoughts believe they are trying to figure out;
he
is in an imaginary prison cell which can be unlocked only
with a key that
he
conjures up for himself:
In
you are to-This-Thing-born
then
you have the potential to hear, recognize,
and
eventually utilize a thoroughly indescribable and unnatural ability for,
originality-of-thought
-- something that literally should not be possible in
a
universe not original with the thinker --
yet
thought that is so
different from ordinary men’s that, comparably speaking,
it
is not misleading to call it, “original” -- in, to and for the private
use of
That
is nothing irritating such a quiescent man that originality-of-thought
will not cure;
no
question troubling him which it will not obliterate,
no
ants at his picnic which it will not clear away.
Ain’t the indescribable grand.

*He
first actually mentioned the smell of other people's, but then took this
approach.
....Okay,
if you want a nudge in the right direction: whatever you are thinking at
this moment, is not original.
.....yeah, and if you go off, then come back and read it again at a different
time -- it'll still be true.
