Originality Isn't Real

I remember writing all the time about how Originality was nothing but an overused lie.

Every idea that exist in this world, has always came from another.

What is Original?
To be purely original, you must make something out of something that no-one has seen before and guess what? That isn't even possible. Not even in the mind! In fact, even if you try to think of "nothing", you will probably picture a complete dark image, or a complete white image, and guess what? That isn't original either!

Everything we used, is made of something we already had. Like for instance: this post I made isn't purely original, it's made up of pixels that people already used. It's also made up of existing symbols, and so are the words on this blog.

Even this idea here, obviously not original. However, I love to spread the word into my own words!



You want to know the most "unoriginal" thing ever used on the Internet? Here is a picture of it:

Pixel

Look around you, nothing is original! Haha!!
Psst, maybe I should Copyright the pixel, now no one can make anything for the Internet... Nah, just kidding, but doing so would prove that Copyright laws steal creative rights of others.

We all copy, every single second. Not only we always copy ideas, but even physical nature does too.
It's perfectly natural, we do it all the time.

It's possible to combine stuff and form it to something "new" as a result, but yet, that doesn't make it original and it's not anything different than when you create very similar results. While it's kind of possible to create "new" results, I see nothing wrong with making exact results either.
Yet, you need to have similar results to create cultures, gens, etc.

Everyone is always desiring to wanting to use something they love from somewhere else, so they can combine them into there own new stories. Also, this is why we have fans making new works of existing things, say Fan Fiction for example. Yet, everyone always makes a "Fan Fiction" of something. Public Domain or "not".

We always Copy, Transform, and Combine.

Originality ≠ Creativity
