 Have you ever wondered what is truly meant by “Nothing new under the sun”

Are we as humans limited in our thoughts and inventions?

Do we merely recycle ideas and claim them as our own?

Is our whole existence based on plagiarism we so deeply discourage?

A crime that could get us sued for repeating words without acknowledging the “original owner”?

Maybe we are all just criminals through our existence.

Here’s what I think:

The world is an alphabet.

Time, experience and existence all fit into this.

Our lives and experiences are like words formed from combining letters of that alphabet.

And so, essentially, we could say, new words (experiences) are non-existent in existence.

We live on different combinations of the same thing in different ways.

Does that mean that human inventions and experiences are limited?

How big is the alphabet we live on?

Do some letters have accents, paving way for variation?

Maybe that’s why we experience deja vu...

It’s because all experiences stem from the same place.

And so deja vu would simply be like knowing the word “STOP” then bumping into the word “POST” and thinking you have seen the word in the past.

Technically you have, but somehow you haven’t, because although the letters are the same, the order and construction is not.

Does our life alphabet have uppercase and lowercase to make us think we are always experiencing something completely new?

And another thing… Do some people experience life in a different alphabet (Arabic, Latin, Greek…)? And do others experience it in a combination of alphabets? 

Could it be possible that the reason we make friends and fall in love with people is because their alphabetical experiences complete our own?

Is our alphabet infinite?

 nihil sub sole novum,

there is nothing new under the sun,  

 אֵין כָּל חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ‏
