All Ideas are Original

Just as the same seed, planted in different areas will yield a different plant, ideas grow differently in people’s minds.  There is NO way to duplicate exactly the same effect of an idea inside different minds.

The great problem with philosophical interpretations is the dilution of the original concept by the plethora of perceptions brought in by people.  In essence, there is no unified view.  There are ethnocentric views, views based on financial status, even views based on age, etc.  So, whatever process is described… everyone interprets it in their own way, and thus it is a lost message.  If only portions of a thing remain, can you say the thing still exists?  I think not.  This is true for simple philosophies as well, for people don’t break them down, instead they add to it with their own experiences.
