Writing always makes me drift away into some great
place that has intrigued my mind. Writing fiction can be captivating and fun.
The places one can travel in your own mind are and incredible journey and a
gift. I guess it takes some effort for most of us to put down on paper what we
truly think about. I often wonder about the author of Fifty Shades of Gray,
E.L. James and what goes on in her mind or even the great Steven King and all
of his collection of stories. I guess those of us who write just have some
crazy thoughts.
I like thinking about abstract worlds and the
characters that live or visit these places. I love to have people fall into
large bottomless pits but yet still manage to survive the incident somehow and
unscathed. The creative mind at its finest shows us what humans can do to
entertain ourselves. Have you ever wondered why we do all these things, the
creative things I mean? It is all just entertainment.
Humans get bored. As a child I often found myself
saying I am bored only to be told to go and find something to do. Something to
entertain myself. Often I found myself playing imaginary games in imaginary
worlds doing incredible feats of super power magic. I would be Super Girl or
Wonder Woman and it was let the games begin. For hours Barbie would be a dear
companion and her host of many friends would stop by for parties and for other
sorted activities. So I was entertained.
We do all of these things to keep ourselves busy. We
have jobs to pay for these opportunities of entertainment. I find it odd how we
have created a society based on the desire for entertainment. Now entertainment
for some is different than for others but we still must be entertained somehow.
For some people it is the making of money that drives them and it can be found as
entertaining. For others entertainment is not the accusation of an asset but
just the opposite, the spending of the accusation. I am not sure where this
puts me other than directly in the middle as I love to make money to spend
money so that I am entertained. Although if we go back to the beginning of this
essay it looks like I can entertain myself pretty well in my own head and then shared
it.
As we grow as a society we have learned that we have
something unique about us. Whether it is a musical talent, writing, cooking, animal
whisperer, mechanic, financial advisor, CEO and on and on, we see things that
we do not so much as jobs or careers but as a talent. Look at the great of this
world, Mozart for a big example, very talented musically, now today we can say
that Warren Buffet is talented for his money skills. See what I am getting at?
So what goes on in the creative mind of the human
race? Drift away in your own thoughts and let the talents shine through.
