Creativity runs on knowledge.

I would like to share my creative writing with other members on this forum.

The use of the word "bull****" below is for creative purposes only; please don't regard it as hateful, or inappropriate. Sometimes we have to use words to make a point or a certain impression.

Thanks

Some people are only good for defending themselves with one argument. You break it, and they have nothing. That's why it's important to plan your lingual battle.

To those who feel it's important to win all the time. You know, ones with long term grudge. (Be easy on yourselves!) Don't have a secondary weapon? Don't enter the fight. Otherwise, avoid people who are smarter than you.

One at a time, you learn the truth about people. The person is now presented with an opportunity to be defensive; it's like the world runs on bull****.

Like with everyone else, my creative thinking has origin in ideas that may not have anything to do with the subject being depicted in the final sentence, or artwork. Everything is creativity. Creativity runs on knowledge. And knowledge is achieved by curiosity. There are no excuses. Some accidents have more creative expression than a deliberate attempt at expression.

What is meaning? Do your own ideas not have all but an arbitrary origin of something else. There is no time to ask a dumb question such as "Are we…". Because we already are… something. Now we need to make a statement about what that something is, rather than do guesswork. Is it? Are we? Will it? Won't it? Are the questions that we no longer need to ask.

Instead of making an excuse for it, by accepting what you really are like, no matter how horrific it may seem to you, you are making an investment. And even though our bodies age exponentially, the average level of someone's maturity or, even, knowledge obtained, does not seem to follow the same trend.

It's best to make a statement and really see it's wrongfulness, rather than to question something without determination and desire to really discover it. What are you afraid of? Someone else's opinion of you? You think about your Facebook messages before posting them, in the same way you think about what you are going to tell someone in person before saying it (well, some of us do) because you realize they will be seen by all of the people on your friend's list. But who are they? We are in a mutual contract to express and post our thoughts to each other. At first, that's what you'd think it is.

The story runs deeper the more you know and understand. But at the same time, things are beginning to become clear; no matter how much you don't really want to know what they are. So you take a second breath, and move on.

Some may say that we are connected by disconnections in a world that has no meaning in store for us. We seek meaning in everything: atoms, electrons, religion (make money selling candles; light one for the Padre, will you?), relationships with other people and the images of them we have created for ourselves - that have nothing to do with what those people are really like. Because we need them to be in the role that fulfills a selfish desire of our own. Luckily for them, human condition does not require knowledge. Creative expression does not require intellect, only the consciousness.

We must use all tools available (the arsenal of which can be increased by will), as your ultimate art work will come from knowledge of --all-- aspects of your work. For artists it is mixing colors, knowledge of form and composition. For musicians, it is the knowledge of the scale, the mathematics behind the structure of organized sound, and importance of harmony. For film makers, it is the element of photography between first and final scene of the shot, visual expressiveness and integrity of the plot. For writers, it is the sentence structure and fluidity of the communicative thought being expressed.

Having said this, let's get to work fellow artists.
