The Act and the Outcome of Creation
This article explores the philosophical and emotional dimensions of the creative process. It argues that creation serves as a vital outlet for self-expression, mental well-being, and personal growth.
Why it matters
It provides a human-centric perspective on productivity and the intrinsic value of artistic output in an increasingly automated world.
Creation is the ultimate form of pursuing ourselves, giving to the world when shared, and using the power of our subconscious. It gives us joy, and to every artist, it is the ultimate (flow) state of happiness.
The act of creation is an outlet. It gives joy to us when we create something out of nothing, we block out anxiety or boredom.
Creation, and especially writing, can help resolve the unresolved .
Creating is also about making a difference . If nothing changes in you, the people, not enough value was added to your creation. Any creation should trigger something. But foremost, the process of creation should change something in you, some release, a good feeling, it must feel right. If it does nothing, an empty feeling, the creation might not be there yet.
