Creative This Way: Novelty

Chance doesn't mean meaningless randomness, but historical contingency. This happens rather than that, and that's the way that novelty, new things, come about. - John Polkinghorne

Novelty is defined as the quality of being new, fresh and exciting. or also can be defined as a new or unusual experience or occurrence by (Collins).

For me, i think novelty play a strong part in our life as might as well the way we think. People are only excited for whats next? they never look back. Everyone is looking for new ideas and novelty in their life.

What exists now is what will be in the future,
and what has been done is what will be done;
thus there is nothing really new on earth.
Is there anything about which someone can say, "Look at this! It is new!"?
It was already done long ago, before our time.
No one remembers the former events,
nor will anyone remember the future events that are yet to happen;
they will not be remembered by the future generations.
(Ecclesiastes, 1: 9-11)
