What is Creative Expression? What is Creativity? Why do we wish to create? Can it be taught? Is it an art or science? Can you command it at will? Is being creative important? Should there be space in life for creativity? I’ve been thinking about these questions for sometime now.
I write, that’s how I express myself creatively. But, writing is very cognitive in nature. What I mean to say is, writing involves a lot of thinking about the subject matter, in my case, that subject matter is – Life. And, to me this was THE problem. No matter how much I like to think (this blog after-all is called a A Thinking Man), it was getting too much. I wanted to relieve my mind of thoughts. Sometimes, I just didn’t want to think. I needed my mind to take breaks from thinking from time to time. While alcohol was always an option, I wanted to see if there was any other way.
