I do not know, maybe others have racked their brains about creativity, trying indeed to define it or confine it within perimeters of words. But to try to constrict or restrict it is to shade the sun with a palm.

Yet I understand it rather differently, of course looking at it from a different angle. Everyone is a creator, or at least capable of creating things the way the rest do.

Creativity is simply an assemblage of difference ideas. We know a politician can speak better than we do, a writer is better stuffed with words, Not just because they are gifted in their specific domains and the rest are shunned.

Everyone is equally endowed with potentials and everyone may fit himself into a different and distinct domain, but I do not think anybody by nature is less gifted.

Maybe someone is born with a disfigured physique and others can not find a suitable environment after their births, that is a different matter altogether. The sum and substance of what I want to put across is everyone is inherently or by birth equally gifted except under a circumstance which is exceptional in point of fact.

I do not want to confine the definition or delineation of creativity in mere words or figures or in sound patterns, systems or in their varied pitches. Creativity transcends such limits and can encompass wider ranges and scopes.

I see large amounts of creativity in folk songs, in even in chattering women and even in rural manners. Everywhere there is creativity.

But we should see it through a different perspective. The entire works of nature are perfect creations, and perfect arts.

Capable of creating things the way the rest do, yeah and not always even. 15 year old can never become a ballerine try as hard as she may.

Can't agree with you there.
I think some people are more or less gifted in some things. Take singing as an example, it's pretty easy to see in there.
Another one, I'm good with languages, was able to learn to speak Russian fluently by watching Russian channels on TV for about two years. My sister usually watched with me, yet she can't understand anything in Russian.

Agreed.

I mean by "equally gifted" is all have potentials for different things. one may have potentials for music and another for architecture, and still another for farming. Everyone has potentials for different domains of learning and excelling.

In a sense, I agree: anyone can write well via hard work and steady application but the trick is to make the writing seem fluid and effortless and only a few, I'm afraid, can sell that illusion with consummate skill.

For me, creativity is a tingling between the legs. And NO, not in that way, but YES, yes in that way
--depending upon your interpretation, and thus your creativity.
