I cannot give you a "personal" example from your own life because I'm not privy to the details. But surely you've had at least one "original thought" today? Yes?
I've heard of thoughts that are said to be original, but they're just "new" thoughts to me. I believe that everything I know and think was thought of and known before I existed. I'm a newcomer on the scene, as it were, and cannot claim to have ever had a thought that someone somewhere hadn't thought of before.
You know this is going to get semantically twisted don't you? 😉

That's blatantly untrue, but it's what I'd expect from the poster in question. You're not going to get honesty and intelligent discussion from that one, so don't waste your time.
