Unspoken, spoken

It was a creative and productive discussion with our creative writing teacher this afternoon. I even wrote some of her remarkable statements which I can relate to in order to add to my inspiration and stock of wisdom (imaginary wisdom maybe).


“Today may be a fiction but for tomorrow, it might be the truth.”

My mind started thinking of sensible thoughts upon hearing this. Very simple yet so deep. So deep that I was even able to imagine that what if I was transferred from this current time to Einstein’s time? Maybe, I can be pronounced as one of the greatest scientists that ever existed. For my teacher added that people of today are actually more intelligent than people of yesterday. This was brought by the issue that our creative teacher raised to us: “Youth are more imaginative than adults.”

It’s not that I am not thinking, or maybe some may say that I am too shallow to respond, in compliment to that statement, that the reason behind this is that adults have more concerns than youth that it takes adults lesser time to think and reflect. Their scarcity of moment to imagine gives the youth the edge to come up with brighter and wider variation of ideas. Youth, obviously, may have many concerns too but are not as heavy as the concerns adults have. I wanted to say more, but I opted not to when I delivered to my teacher the simplest and most obvious answer a student can give why adults are less imaginative than the youth. And maybe you can relate with me if you too, has experienced this occurrence where after affirming on something, suddenly, you shift from your stand and then unstoppable pop out of ideas will dictate that you wanted to flip or contradict your own opinion.

After affirming to my teacher that youth are actually more creative than adult due to their concerns and priorities, is like that I have just said that I am more creative than my teacher. This, I thought, is not right (maybe, ay ewan! ^_^). My teacher is way too creative than me. She made me think about things I have never thought before. I wanted to share a separate opinion from my answer, (but I got shy to talk right after I have just talked for my classmates might judge my being too active or whatever. It’s the class’ nature to often react on simple matters though your goal is just to be yourself and to say something you think might be of help and for them to think about too. But anyway, to fasten this segue, I just ended up blogging my unspoken thoughts a while ago).

It’s not that youth is more creative than any stage else, but as for me, it is rather better to say that the foundation of building your creativity, perhaps, starts from this age, the youth stage. It is then that through later on experiences, we tend to add and spice up more of our ideas and things to think about. If you have built a high meter of creativity during your youthful stage, it may be possible that you would be more creative as you grow older. You know, it’s not just the height and body that grows, nor the age that increases, but also creativity as we see more in time and explore more in life.

So there, I’m done with this. I just wanted to say something. :)
