creative mind


It has been said that all places are equidistant from heaven, and all eras equidistant from eternity. It is also true that all experiences are equidistant from a truth or regularity they illustrate. But it is to the creative mind only that a common occurrence can be as revealing as an outstanding event.
- Eric Hoffer


 It is conceivable that contemplative thinking results in nihilism. When we take a contemplative view on our daily lives, many may recognize the endless repetition of a mundane day. It turns us cheerless, prospectless, and accustomed to a joyless life. The experience of futility is often believed to plunge us into an infinite abyss. Yet, it provides solid groundwork for our existential lives. This is due to the fact that even the fear of failure and the agony of creation are rendered insignificant. The act of creation is emancipated as it is not one to be repressed or controlled. All differences are granted as it is not erroneous to assert their existence. There is only one choice left between a creativity and a banality. With a well-maintained perspective, the decision appears effortless.
