    Things we live for

    I often wonder how my life goes if there is no creativity at all. I feel I am here for doing something creative. Creativity is not just versification or canvassing something. Creativity has of course big ranges and scopes. Your attempts to make a depression-ridden old man smile is a work of creativity.

    The greatest creativity if any people have are farmers and laborers in terms of degree of course. Creativity is not just writing a book or building a monument. It is anything, your attempt to bring harmony on your family, or helping someone in need. Charity is a great work of creativity, for it brings smiles on the faces of the deprived.

    I was a farmer, the son of a farmer working on farms from dawn to dusk in a small river-basin in Nepal. I used to read lines of joys in the faces of the farmers if the crop was good after their great hardships. I do not think it is less creative works than composing poems or writing stories.

    I want others to share their views on creativity. I will of course add mine more in due course.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I think I live to change the world. I know, a big notion right? Well, I feel that I could change literature forever, more like redefine it. I want to be remembered as Edgar Allen Poe, without the gambling, drug addiction and incest.

    That is what I live for. Every day I wake up and think, I'm going to change someone's life and possibly the world today.
    To say that literature is dying is to say that the world is dying.

    " 'The most important part of poetry is structure!' one student answers. ' No! The most important part of poetry is sound.' Another retorts. 'No! The most important part of poetry is rhyme!' says the last. 'No!" Says the teacher, ' The most important part of poetry is the meaning, no structure, nor sound nor rhyme alone can define poetry, combine them all and you get meaning.'

    after knowing that you have the passion for reading I believe you can be remembered as Edgar Allen Poe, maybe you may write better poems than eve Poe. Of course your poem heralds this fact.
