Small Questions

If a thought isn't recorded, is it gone forever? Can you count on someone else to pick it up? Should we concern ourselves more with the occurrence of ideas, or the ownership of them. Would you rather they find a cure for cancer or you find the cure for cancer? Would you rather have written this thought down? Could you have? How about all those thoughts that dance through my head before I fall asleep; too tired (or lazy?) to reach for the pen again and jot down the phrase to access the information in the morning. They are like dreams. If you can't remember your dreams, they might as well have never happened. They are non. Ideas, I think, are the same way. If you don't remember them, you might as well have never had them. What was I talking about?
