To illustrate your comment, Gome...
This quote:
"No single thing abides, but all things flow. Fragment to fragment clings – the things thus grow until we know and name them. Then, by degrees, they change, and are no more the things we know."
sounds recent, BUT was written by the Roman poet and philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus about 50 BC (This is the Matlock translation). As you pointed out – new or original doesn't happen very often.

arGee - I am always amazed when someone feels that their perspective is
somehow new and has never been thought of before.

You piss me off, Gome...
When you say something so well, because I can't then say it myself!
But let me add this. You wrote: "New outlooks, refreshing perspectives or unique ideas are few and far between." I notice you put a period after this statement. That period may be the most profound part of your post, if you get my gist...
