Description As an artist, you would think the prospects are endless.  But, what if there is an end?  What if there is only so much creativity in this world, and what if that limited creativity is just a continuous repetition of the same proficiency of all the ones who came before?

The amazing power of the imagination may have an edge, a stopping ground.  Is it possible that there aren’t endless possibilities?  

On one hand, God no doubt has endless possibilities, because he is and dwells within eternity. One must wonder, if we try to claim infinite possibilities as well, are we trying to place ourselves on the same playing field as God?  

Maybe one should instead say, there is an abundant source of possibilities, and with God’s will and guidance we can achieve all that we can.  No less, no more.  

With all of this in mind, copyright laws are much more interesting.  The point behind copyrights is so that no one can take another persons ideas or words and claim them as their own.  This means that the first person to have their idea reach the surface of this world, gets to claim it as forever and only theirs.  Thereafter, one must give them the credit.

What happens though when one truly discovers and unveils an idea, purely their own, with not a clue of its previous existence, publicizes the idea, and than gets accused of plagiarism?  Did they truly plagiarize, or did they just run with the beauty of their own mind?  Is it not possible for multiple people to believe, think, or create the same concept, with out ever copying each other, or even knowing of each other’s existence?

Maybe.  Because if there is a certain extent to our notions, than in the end we all have to repeat each others convictions just so that we can speak of the depths of our hearts, minds, and souls.  Of course specific words are one thing.  But an idea…No one has the right to claim.  

In reality, our understandings are just extensions of our ancestors suspicions.
