The Act of Creation

- I like to write

- Why? Why do we write, and what is its purpose? In pondering this question, I discovered

something interesting. There is a single, unifying trait among all of the peoples of the world.

This trait is so essential to everyday life that if it were removed, I would not call it life at all.

- Creation is a trait present in all human beings

- Creation- the action or process of bringing something into existence.

- There is nothing in reality before you begin. Then comes the idea, and you take steps to make

that idea come true. Finally, reality is changed as a result of your actions.

- Now, I believe that I can predict some naysayers’ reactions to this. You will bring up how

some apes can create tools, or structures, and point out that humans are not unique when it

comes to building things or solving problems.

- I am referring to the creation of immaterial objects

- We are the only species that associates with others for no reward, and the only species that

finds deeper meaning in our lives. Disregarding all of that, I believe that our greatest strength

is that we can choose what we want to create. In my own opinion, this ability is no less than a

gift from God, presented to humanity out of pure generosity.

- Everything that happens in life starts with this process.

- What we create may not always be beneficial

- While we can never truly understand the consequences that our creations may bring into the

world, that must never stop us from creating at all. Rather, it should inspire us to create the

best that we can, for it follows that if creation can be used for evil, then it can also be used to
create good. At the end of the day, it is what we seek to create, and how we go about it that

forms the basis of life in our world.
