#144: You cannot own ideas
You cannot own ideas. You simply do not know where an idea came from nor where it is going next.
Ideas are creations set free by thinking. Once you’ve had an idea it is ‘out there’ beyond your control. Mystics and quantum physics blame this on the interconnectedness of all things.
Nor do I believe that you should lock up your ideas. The more you share ideas, the more they come back to you, much improved. Like love, ideas are not diminished when given away.
Is this nonsense? Consider this. My radio topics came to me from people past and present. I cannot say with certainty who said or wrote something which triggered an idea in me. How can I then claim it as mine?
Sharing thoughts on the radio is my way of sending ideas ‘out there’ knowing that they will come back to me, much improved. For that I thank you this Thanksgiving holiday.
