Playing God
Creating is simply making something out of nothing. What if we, as human beings, were capable of such a feat? Despite our disability, we constantly strive to create. Through art, we celebrate our weak interpretation of true creation. We can only pull ideas from what has already been given to us. Seeking unadulterated originality is impossible, for we are surrounded by influences and ideas. In wanting to create, we are simply seeking to take on a role higher than our capabilities and our purpose. In essence, we wish to be a god. Embedded in our beings is a sense of higher purpose and a longing for perfection and meaning. How do we satisfy it, for we truly cannot become God?
