Lol, knowledge is not meant to be hoarded. Besides, you never know, you might mention and everyone will go, "Oh, that? Yeah, we all worked that out when we were four." It's happened to me. I've had some big revelation, something just clicked and I understand something new about the universe, and then I realise that it's a concept that's been around since the beginning of time and common knowledge to every two-year-old.
Also happened in reverse. Some older person readies themselves a piece of wisdom that came to them from the divine and they say it with this wistful look in their eyes like they're gonna rock my world... and more often than not it's something I worked out when I was twelve.
I know what you mean about not being able to give it justice, mere words is not going to encompass it and to even try, you're might fail at getting across a vital aspect that makes the whole thing work and people will go, "Yeah, so?" or "I don't get it" or something like that which diminishes the profundity of your moment, when the moment does not deserve to be diminished. There are things I keep to myself for that reason, I want to share it but I don't want people to take it for granted or not give it the due it deserves, so I remember it and maybe in a day or a month or a year or five years or ten years from now, the words will come to me to properly express this piece of knowledge I've discovered.
I don't know what you mean about wanting to keep it for myself so that it belongs to you, though. Because if it's a truth you've discovered, then it was true before you came up with it and it would have been true if you had never come up with it. So wanting credit for discovering it, yeah, that I understand, but you can't get that if you keep it to yourself. But something that is truth does not belong to anybody. It just is. And if you can find it, so can someone else, because if it's a truth, then it's there to be found. And if it's not a truth, well, it's like you said, who gives a shit, anyway?
