"الصدى يسخر من أصلها ليثبت أنها الأصلية."
— Rabindranath Tagore
Simplified Meaning:
When you see something that looks like a copy, it might just be a bit different from what it came from – like an echo. An echo repeats a sound but can change it a bit so it seems unique or new. Imagine if a friend told you a story, and then you heard someone else tell the same story but with their own twist – it might sound fresh and original because of the new details added. If we think of the echo, it comes from an original sound, but depending on where it bounces, it can sound altered. So, the echo can actually seem different enough to stand on its own, showing it's special in its own right. For example, music today often builds on older songs, sometimes even using parts of them, but it still manages to become its own new creation. This idea can apply to you too. Even if you get your ideas and inspiration from others, you add your own personality and experiences, making what you create unique. So remember, it's okay to start from something familiar, because your personal spin makes it yours.
