“We seldom realise, for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”
Alan Watts

I didn’t invent the shovel, but the hole I dug is real.
Awesome!
in my opinion "inventing" something - isn't creating something from nothing, but putting things that already exist in some specific order. Just like our bodies are made of atoms that once were part of stardust - our thoughts might be comprised of ideas that existed for some time already
