L'originale

'You were born original... Don't die as a copy'
Being born an original and a unique animal we tend to be a copy seeking ourselves an image of a person who is popular. If everyone succeeds in copying others would we have a word 'Original' ? Being original is not easy yet not hard. Follow the sheep.. but some one should be the first sheep to lead the way. Our hand prints are unique so why aren't our minds also..? Reason is people have a perception that adapting an image which has attained popularity will also make them popular. No.... If that is true then we would be having a prototype model sought by everyone. Or we could think of something like this... there are many clusters of people seeking a similar interest. Imagine a scenario where different people have different interests. Then we would have as many options as people^interests for others to pursue. Such a condition would lead to a confusion if people are not clear to choose what they want.
If people have many choice to choose they would choose the one which is optimal. Now, is the choice they made is l'originale? Is it? Persons with new ideas are not easily accepted by everyone. What we accept is generally not a new idea. But if the idea is not a new one.. who has adapted it earlier? Unless someone had started it.. it would not be new.... It looks like a viscious circle.
