On Momentum
Concepts, arts, sounds, cultures have worth.
A momentary fluctuation of the worth of any conceptual idea and the media orbiting around the nucleus of an idea is a trend.
While many of these are generated through focused action and monetary assistance, there are some that emerge naturally.
The space, chronologically speaking, in which a trends’ visibility is easily tracked can be thought of as its’ lifespan. Very few things outside of this thinking blossom outside their initial planning or birth-process.
When information floods into a being through technological or direct observation, the ability to accurately track trends and place value is generally blurred.
This blur, though certainly a distraction, should not drown out the goodness inherent in the overall stream of conceptual ideas. It can, in fact, lengthen the lifespan of an original concept as it is assimilated into the core of other ideas. This is cross-pollenation.
Eventually, as the focus on a single idea becomes so slight that it falls out of view for a time, it will seem to have disappeared or had it’s value replaced with something else.
And this something else can be thus judged and appraised, just as anything else can.
