Creativity...Who needs it?

Creativity according to Yay:

My response to him (below)


Most of the world never questions anything, and they damn sure don’t question anything about themselves. It’s sooo much easier to point fingers. People don’t know why they wear the shirt on their back or why they style their hair the way they do. They don’t even know why they sit for 2-3 hours in the church they have chosen. For the creative, it’s painful to go with the flow, to fit into a particular mold of patterns.


Being comfortable is never comfortable; the creative never fits in; perhaps a swig of Jack soothes the pain…

I think that’s why I like to dream in barren landscapes. The possibility to create is immensely infinite. Where there is already structure; opinions and facts about those structures have been created. Where there is trash and waste, there is only room for beauty and boundless options. And most important, when trash is transformed into beauty, the landscape is not only transformed but the inhabitants are rid of their inner waste. Creating something from nothing, like Ye says, is magic. I’ve seen it produce the most unlikely results, fruit even.

But without belief, creativity is useless. Don’t lose your belief Ye…keep your faith. The world’s evolution depends on dreamers.
