I was once told that genius isnt the ability to answer questions as much as it is to create new questions. Not solving the basic "why" questions but being able to create something that makes you perceive the "whys" in a new light. But how can anything truly be original? Isnt every action and every thought the reaction to something already known?
Purely the composition of reactions- feelings which are simply feelings -thoughts which are simply thoughts- and nothing more. The cold face of "behaviorism" has awakened itself upon humans leaving us with ugly and empty answers.
While some believe that "souls" are incorporated into these hollow vessels- others see it as nothing but simply a bundle of perceptions, thoughts, memories, and emotions connected together to form answers.



We just react- to something we perceive to be as "new"- but in its very definition it has tricked us. That is which unknown will remain unknown unless it decides to reveal and devalue itself. But then- then it is touchable- then it is thinkable- then it is mediocre. We innately desire the answer the "whys" because we desire to answer the universals with the particulars. We analyze every inch of our surrounding and think that it will answer our big questions. But the only clue our reality gives us is that more does exist- and that even our surrounding will be unexplainable.

Ah, the greatest paradox. How can we know anything about the unknown? How do we truly discover something that we will never to sure of? If originality and the unknown are equated then we are surrounded with genius but who is to claim that they are actually created something "original." They have reached- they have grasped- into the the shadowy abyss of "thought" and formed "nothing"
