?——Henry David Thoreau?
?世界對富有想象力的人來說只是壹塊帆布。——亨利·大衛·梭羅
Creativity is not
as some would have us believed
something to be taken than painting pictures or?posing original music—creativity could rightly be considered a healing force for societies overwhelmed by the ongoing utilitarian struggles of it a cure for depression
an escape from working—class drudgery
catharsis for the stress and worry that accumulates within us just call it a fun and productive way to wile away an afternoon.
創造力並不像人們讓我們相信的那樣，是不以為然的東西。這不像繪畫或者原創音樂那樣，創造力可以看做是治愈被持續的社會功利鬥爭所壓迫人性的力量.我們稱之為治療抑郁的良藥，逃避工薪階層的苦差事，積壓在我們內心所有壓力和憂慮的宣泄。或者只是壹個消磨壹個下午的有趣高效的方法。
But the spark of creativity is not always easily children
our creative zeal is generally encouraged and allowed to?thrive
but as we move into *** hood that zeal tends to atrophy from r things take over our lives
such as hectic career schedules and increased social pressure to achieve?"status"rding to Elisabeth Keating inPieces of Beauty
this is an unhealthy trend spawned from an overly materialistic gose on to detail the spiritual benefits of a more creative life.?
但創造力的火花並不容易點燃。作為孩子，我們的創作熱情容易受到鼓勵和發展，但隨著我們進入成年期，熱情往往容易減退。其它事情占據了我們的生活，如簡單忙碌的職業計劃和為了獲得地位產生的社會壓力。根據伊麗莎白.基庭的《美麗碎片》，這是由過度的物質文化產生的壹種不健康趨勢。她繼續深究更有創造性的生活的精神上的益處。?
Tongue in cheek
Melvin Durai exposes creativity from a more "everyday" and?practical angle in his humorous piece
Let the?Beer Come to only have great minds invented personal puters and cell phone technology
they might also bless us with beertossing refrigerators and couches that spit out lost remote controls.
Melvin Durai在用他的詼諧作品《讓啤酒來到妳的身邊》開玩笑似的從日常和實踐的角度剖析創造性。
Clearly
the expression of artistic creativity throughout history has been just a instrumental in improving the human condition as any business venture or economic out it there would be no great works of art to enjoy and puzzle over
no songs to sing badly in the shower
no ho new fashion trends
no novels to read.I ask you
is that the sort of world you want to live in?
顯然，縱觀歷史，藝術創作的表達壹直只是壹個改善人類生存條件成為壹切商業風險和經濟繁榮的工具。沒有創造力就不會有偉大的藝術作品供欣賞和思索，就沒有糟糕的洗澡歌，就沒有潮流趨勢，就沒有小說可以讀。我問妳們，那是妳們想要生活的那種世界嗎？
