convergence


Ideas are rarely unique.



Most often they are the convergence of thought that is readily available out there. For example, compare this with that. Of course, Leibniz would conclude that this is just another example of everything happening for a reason.

I am transported back in time and place to this summer, traveling by ferry from Le Havre, France to Southampton, England. There were only a few fellow foot passengers. One such fellow was an Iranian, who when fell into conversation, observed that the liklihood of free and fair elections in Iran was unlikely. But, as fellow human beings who for the moment were traveling on the same ship to a common destination, he shared with me some nuts from Iran, and I the consolation, that I wished it were not as it was in Iran.

Picture from u2 concert in Iran and used only for comment.
