just because you're unable to come up with original thought doesn't mean that such a thing doesn't exist. perhaps your situation with sartre just means you're thoughts are outdated. i agree with you that people should think for themselves. perhaps you could inspire yourself to do the same. there's a difference between learning from others and paraphrasing them.
Does people like Tony Robbins, Sartre, or even Jesus have "original thoughts"? If so, what is it?
You don't even know it but you just admit it yourself that there is no such thing as "original thoughts" when you say that there is a difference between learning from others and paraphrasing them. Does that mean even the greatest of the greats such as Buddha, Socarates, and Jesus have no "original thoughts" at all but just paraphrasing?
"Koj ruam tshaj qhov ruam lawm os dumb fucck Genuinely aws."
Would the above quotation by Solemn Wind be considered as an original thought of Solemn Wind, paraphrasing, or just another form of plagiarism?
