Feeling unoriginal

[cyanical]

Maybe someone can help put me at ease about this.

I read and stuff. I try to understand others. My problem now is that I do not feel ownership of my own ideas, opinions, and values. This feeling has come on gradually. Maybe I'm not used to changing.

Part of me wants to go back to a nihilistic hedonist life.

Excellent. What you feel is ascendancy, and rightly so it scares you.

Feeling ownership is a sign of inferiority. You are advancing towards the next levels of awareness.

Let go of the past, and let the future consume you.

That's life for ya!

It's okay IMO. Every idea is built with the support of others. That's why you cite references in the first place.

It's quite arrogant to say that you achieved something on your own.

Originating is mostly a fiction.
