I know, it's been forever. Sorry.

"Men get opinions as boys learn to spell, by reiteration chiefly." ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

So, I found this quote today while looking online. And I like it. Look around. There is a constant battle for originality. Ironically, this isn't new. I read of Aristotle, who looked for wisdom in the men around him. He found they all thought higher of themselves than others did. He said their arrogance made them ignorant. He then affirmed that since he acknowledged his lack of wisdom, he was better off than they. But is that not the same thing? Was he not as arrogant as they?

We're still doing it. We still condemn each other and praise ourselves. We claim our own originality. "There is no new thing under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9). We may know that, but it hasn't stopped us yet. After all, I'm writing this, aren't I?
