I am so grateful to live in the Storytelling world where we borrow (not steal) each others ideas on a regular basis being as conscious as possible to give each other credit where and when credit is due. Those who are ethical are very careful to honor each other, the stories, the culture and to ask permission and then adapt and share. There are no new ideas under the sun, as the quote alluded to, there are amazing new connections that can generate amazing new advances. If we are too afraid that an idea is someone else's a creative may never create. But it is important to be ethical and honor if indeed we ARE aware an idea is someone else's. That's my take and give on this one. :)
