Cyclic cognizance- A humbling experience

Cyclic cognizance- A humbling experience

A Poem by peculiar

Again, not a poem

"
It is a humbling experience to realize that almost every insight you have conceived, and will ever come to conceive, was already preconceived by countless of others before you.

Likewise, it is just as wonderful to realize that most of your insights will similarly be shared by those that will come after you.

Thoughts such as these, open the eyes to the universality and interconnectedness of beings; particularly the intangible ones such as thought and consciousness.

This way, space for clarity and humility is created; so that pride maybe tempered and the illusion of purely individual greatness be dismissed.

I dont agree with this - there are exceptions to the rule I feel such as the great thinkers Plato, Socrates and the great scientists like Copernicus and Issac Newton, Stephen Hawking etc. Such as their thoughts wont be repeated I feel - they were ground breakers and therefore the cyclic cognizance is a bit off - or Im a bit off (most likely the latter - but hey...)
I do like the concept and the way you tell it here Peculiar. :))
