And so here i am back again. Sorry for the temp dissapearance as i took a vacation of my blogspot for a while to figure a few things i had to sort out. As you can see, inversed_sights is not shutting down and i thank all the readers for pushing me on to make this u turn for what seemed to be a set decision. So the entries that i hope all of you have missed will keep coming as my "leave" is now over. Enjoy.
" Your effort in trying to be different has only made you alike to most people."The idea of creativity has been overshadowed by difference. All of us here today have accepted the thought that anything that is different is creative. The idea of creativity is not to be different, but to think different. The idea of that is not to behave differently or to do things in an exagerrating manner to be recognized as different. It is, in fact, the way we think. So many of us try to be someone different , but how is that being creative when the whole world wants to be different? Creativity cannot be made and cannot be cultivated. Creativity is moulded in your thoughts, you maturity and your experiences on life to relate fact and fiction.
Isn't it ironic that we take the prettiest things and see them as a viewpoint of beauty and creativity? We look at the mona lisa and we say it is beautiful and we can rattle on and on, but what about the da vinci? what about the brushes? the paint?Didn the picture stem from these very single details. In creativity, we fail to notice of the most insignificant things and srutinize their importance. We start from the big picture and forget the rest. But the art and baeuty of creativity remains in the smallest specific detail. Yes people, its origin.
But back to the topic, why do we try to be different? Why do we wear orange with brown when we know they dun fit? Because we all have one common stigma and that is that as long as i am different, i am creative. Is it a mental mindset that we have or is it an undying ego that refuses to accept the equality of man or yet , better, the gift of talent to certain man?
We all have our own styles. You are your own style. The object of creativity is already there because nooone can beyou no matter how much they try. It is not the clothes you wear or the way you speak that define creativity, but it is your sole self that defines creativity. Next up, the entry on " fairness" or rather " the irony in the equality of man" . I'll see you guys tomorrow. Ciao
