I must say I really enjoyed this piece, it explored such a fundamental topic that relates directly with human existence and psyche.

Although it is not my intention to summarize this piece, I do want to take some time to accredit the author of his ability to maneuver seamlessly through his critical thinking process. I found the writing style ironic, considering the context of what he is attempting to analytically dissect can hardly be understood in such a way, which he goes later on to admit. I believe that I find myself so fond of his maneuverings through the piece because I, myself, often attempt to analyze exstisentially ideologies in a similarly formulaic way. I do personally believe that even the most exsitentially complex concepts can be broken down and understood in individualized compartments. In my opinion, it can be argued that those who are able to deconstruct and answer some of life’s most puzzling inquires in a way that the solutions are ingestible by a larger audience and comprehended by a broader scope of individuals are even more talented then those who pose the question in the first place.

I found it interesting how the author continuously referred to the “creative thinker” as his own abstract entity, apart from “the rest of us.” Its as if being a creative thinker is not an aspect of man, but man is an aspect of the creative thinker. It makes me wonder what in fact, constitutes the identification of such a title. To me, and as the author also later acknowledges, the creative thought process is one of many thought processes that combined create a great thinker.

My favorite part of the piece as a whole was the question it presented in the very beginning regarding the whereabouts thats creative writers gain their inspiration. It was a perfect opening idea to generate the reader to think in such a way that questions creation, and humanism. Authenticity is such an important concept that can be related to almost anything, in any given situation in our world. There is never any full and complete understanding without awareness of origin.
