We live in a culture that suppresses creativity and imagination. From age 6 we begin to be evaluated in terms of our ability to repeat tasks, to take orders, and to comply with the norm. Kids with imagination are encouraged to achieve instead of create. To compete and define themselves in terms of trivial standards like the honor roll or sports trophies. College then comes along, your basic degree factory designed to make you a marketable and employable contributor to a capitalist society. Any creativity you might have had has to be nurtured and coddled on your own, in your alone moments reading favorite authors or writing in a secret journal or drawing in a sketch book. The gift to see things freshly and originally becomes something one cultivates in solitude, with no help from a society and an educational system that spits out one career-obsessed automaton after another.
Thankfully a remedy to this isolation of the creative has finally emerged---the Internet. Now it is possible to have creative thoughts articulated in eloquent phraseology all to oneself and to the entire world at the same time. Such an innovation has restored the lost balance between the successful blathering conformists and the inspired yet silenced dissidents. Amazing insights and meditations once lost forever in the private journals of eccentric recluses can now hatch and sing to the universe thru eternal transmissions into the sky . Kindred spirits may now link up via blogs, discussion boards, and social media sharing their common vision to a world dearth of novelty and integrity. The Internet is surely the greatest thing to happen to the human creative endeavor since the invention of the Chia pet!
