Wisdom – Imagination/Creativity
Have you ever painted a amazing portrait with a tooth pick?
Played phenomenal beats with kitchen cookwares?
Pumped out viral internet memes like there’s no tomorrow?
Innovations are not dedicated solely to artists. Scientists, mathematicians, mechanics, occupations that are presumably dominated by intelligence, also requires imagination to operate in tandem with logic and memory to make progress.
Imaginations is the capability of envisioning the possibilities. All amazing inventions demands a extensive amount of imagination, from the Mona Lisa to e=mc2. Entrepreneur’s visions, chef’s recipes, designers choices, are some more examples.
Your capability to derive unconventional connections of whatever you are engaged in is the reflection of your creativity. Unfortunately the word creativity may be slightly misleading. We do not create, we only discover, utilize and build. There are no human innovations that are made from nothing. All our “creations” are from manipulations of our selves, our environment and our mind.
The seemingly endless amount of innovations are still subjected to limitations. Human understanding is limited in all fronts. Therefore what we can imagine will ultimately be constricted by the bounds of human conceptualization.
Are devils and demons really hideous looking creatures with horns? Is God an old man with beard? Or do they look like that because that’s the only way your mind can interpret them?
However, as it is written:
– 1 Corinthians 2:9(NIV)
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived” —
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
