Came across this today: You can't communicate complexity, only an awareness of it.


So., where does creativity come from? If its a constant work in progress with due diligence and asking questions, its not spontaneous. If its arising out of the subconscious out of the blue, what can you do to make it happen more frequently? Is it a trained mind perfected to repetitively ask basic questions which delivers more of this creativity? A few seconds pass by and it appears that thats what it must be. After all, if one isn't looking for anything in particular, why would you find anything which should be suitably particular? What does it mean to find something? For real.. if a cave man stumbles upon a diamond trove, how much of a consequent importance would he attach to it as opposed to finding a meal? Now say he finds a haystack and figures out its a better place to sleep on than a rock.


Even if these three situations arise out of finding something, they differ distinctly in terms of the outcome. They do so because they are associated with the needs and wants of the caveman. Creativity may not be something which one stumbles upon, though its very plausible for it to appear that way. If there is a need, desperate enough, it will happen. Which probably explains one side of why when a situation demands, a calm mind given some time, can come up with things. What it does not explain is how something is created out of nothing. But then again, as a wise friend once said, theres nothing called an invention, its discoveries all the way.
