How can I be original when everyone has already thought of what I want to write?!

What do I have to do to have a truly original thought?!

The secret is to write better than they did

originality is western masturbatory nonsense

OP here, im gonna suggest this is the right way to think. Would you also suggest that "originality" is the decline of literature in the west as well?

while there's a trend towards individualist thinking in the west, generally speaking, the further east you go, you'll find that folks tend to value causes of collectives above individual ones. these types argue in the internet, but never alone, they rush in together as a collective force. while I made you read my individual bullshit all by myself.

All the time you are making OC you are making something original even if is heavily inspired, if you write something that has been said or thought many times before you are putting your essence on it (not a good or bad thing per se) thus making it "original", if you are able think outside the box then you are making something "new", rehashing ideas in a better way.

what i said in that last post is that i am a retard, and a faggot. also the east is a bunch of bovine looking slant eyed chinks (even the slavs, that are more like slaves)who blindly follow whatever society collectively shames them into following

of course there's no new ideas because life is simple, even if people want to pretend it's not
we eat, shit, fuck, sleep, work and do various things to waste time and distract ourselves from death, then we fucking die. but who cares just write whatever the fuck and stop worrying if it's groundbreaking or original or art or whatever stupid nonsense you got in your head, cause it ain't, but it still might be cool

work at the forefront of new and developing science and technology. there is no originality in literature or philosophy, only interesting re-arrangements.

>Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” 3 What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun? 4 One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever. 5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises. 6 The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns again to its courses. 7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again. 8 All things are full of weariness beyond uttering. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 9 That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold,[a] this is new?” It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us. 11 There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.
