Simple Things Simply Put

When the sun sets here, somewhere else it is rising. As someone dies, somewhere someone is born. And as you are reading this blog, someone else is probably reading a good book.

It is funny how the more advanced we get, the less we think about the simple, every day things which make up our lives.

I got thinking this as I was sitting on my balcony watching the sun set here – and probably rise somewhere else.

They say every drop of water has already circulated throughout every living thing on the planet. So you probably consumed the same water which Einstein, JFK, and maybe aghast – even Britney Spears has had.

The trees we see here and now probably have been around longer than us for the most part. That blonde joke that you heard at the office, someone else is probably telling this very minute.

Makes you think – is there anything really new and original in this world anymore?

That song in your head which you can’t quite remember is probably also stuck in someone else’s head somewhere. The jingle you thought of as a great advertisement for Microsoft, probably has been used somewhere else. And your fashion sense is probably copied a zillion times over by people who aren’t even at all like you.

Be original. Or at least – try.

  1. Hahaha, oh Jordan. It's quite ironic because I had thoughts similar to what you wrote about just a few nights ago. It's tough to be original when there are 6 billion plus people inhabiting the earth.
