Sex, Lies and Videotape

Graham - I remember reading somewhere that men learn to love the person that they're attracted to and that women become more and more attracted to the person that they love.
Ann - God. That's beautiful.That's really beautiful.I like that.
Graham - I'm just quoting.


Quotes withing quotes within quotes...but then all have 1 source (which is tending to zero) so plagiarism, orignality, uniquness, intellectual property is all bollocks...thoughts and ideas can never be owned, can never belong...only dead things can belong, can be owned...
- this is my bike, fine.

Lets start with the premise that dead things dont claim ownership of anything.

Living things do... they claim ownership of
1. Other living things, or
2. Dead things

In the scenario of living things owning living things, there are two categories again -:
1. The living owner thinks he/she/it owns the other living thing
2. The living owned things he/she/it is owned by the other living thing!

In the end does the concept of owning (living or dead) make any sense at all?

I guess the point is the dead things cannot be duplicated...if u stay
in the house it is your house, i cant stay while you stay, i can copy
the design and make a new house on the same blueprint but physically u
can stop me from entering your particular house..whereas in case of
thoughts and ideas, u can have the thought and i can have it 2
simultaneously there is no way for you to bar me from having it.
So you see it is practically impossible to even implement the imaginary
concept of ownership incase of thoughts ideas...
Going another step forward i feel no one can claim credit for having
created any statement thought idea, maybe i can saw this hard disk is
mine, this film roll is mine, this book is mine but that is the medium
carrying the idea, the idea itself cannot belong to ne1 coz it has its
own life and as i beleive in it with enuf periodicity even a
personality can be induced into it complete with an ego...
my thoughts (for lack of better word neways mine here is a pointer to
differentiate it from whats in your head) come from a discourse of osho
in which he mentioned that any thought in your head is not yours, do
you know its source, did you invite it or it just came uninvited..did u
decide 2 have it, who decided to have it, if i tell you not to think of
a cloud where you able to not think of it...the sea that thinks
