Created vs. Reflected

If anything is created, it is a reflection of another's reality. All created things originate from an idea, and all ideas can be traced back as far as the longest living member of a society. Ideas can be spontaneous, but they originate from fragmented memories that are looking for a way to fit together. Sometimes this assembles itself as a "new idea". If God made man in His image, all of man's actions are influenced down a chain of impossibly long proportions. It cannot be traced, but if one thought about their ideas, and what situations caused cognition, they may find that everything they write, create, or wonder is influenced by direct action within existence. And, in turn, the created products are reflections of the individual's reality, or what they long for. And these images inspire others in their own differing ways. Why is something romantic? Why is giving a bunch of plant sex organs to a woman sweet? Why was cutting off 200 foreskins considered a labor of love to secure a wife for David? These ideas must come from somewhere, vanity, lust, greed, sorrow, and happiness secured through what we know already works.
