#pendulord

Original

This one thing has been bothering me the last couple of days. That every thought we have has been thought before. In the beginning i had a hard time understanding this particular thought - BUT  then i went deeper into it. The things we think have probably been thought before - By great philosophers like Platon or Aristoteles. It started to piss me off, because i want to be able to own my own individual thoughts - and i cant think of something original if it has been thought before. In the Danish language we have a word called pendulord The word pendulord is a name for certain words in the danish language that change meaning over time. And our thoughts are kind of like pendulord always changing  Because even though Platon or Aristoteles thought something totally original, it was/is an idea - and from ideas come good ideas. Thus are our minds always evolving

Ordsprog

Har i nogensinde lagt mærke til at ordsproget "op ad bakke" kan betyde to forskellige ting, alt efter hvem der læser & fortolker det? 1. Vi forbinder ordet op med noget godt, så dvs. at op ad bakke bliver til noget positivt siden vi forestiller os en graf foran os, hvor vi ser stregen gå op ad. 2. Det er hårdt at cykle op ad bakke hvilket der står i det originale billedsprog. derfor vil det i sidste ende blive negativt ladet, siden mennesket er dovent og at skulle cykle op ad bakke er en fysisk aktivitet de fleste danskere ikke er særlig vilde med.

Dansk er sjovt!
