I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are

Summary

This quote suggests that originality often arises from our mistakes rather than our intentional actions. It proposes that when we make mistakes, we deviate from conventional paths and explore uncharted territories, leading to the emergence of unique ideas or actions. By embracing and learning from our errors, we inadvertently create something original that would not have existed otherwise. This theory challenges the notion that creativity and originality primarily stem from deliberate and planned endeavors, emphasizing instead the unintended and spontaneous nature of innovative breakthroughs.
