What separates man from animal? There is one thing in my mind that brought man from its' primitive ways, creativity. One day an ape roaming this Earth had the idea of swinging an object through the air and making that object come into contact with another. This ape showed one of the first signs of creativity. Creativity is the ability to transforms ones deepest thoughts and ideas into a product. From something as simple as swinging a random object, to your latest favorite song, it all takes creativity to make it possible.
Humanity as it is would be nothing without this ape's first thought, which was different from the instinct he once knew. This same creativity has put man through everything, good and bad. So I guess you could say creativity has its' ups and downs. Ups such as Christopher Columbus discovering that you couldn't just fall off the face of the Earth if you went too far West. Downs such as an uprising of arian nationalistic nature which led to the death of millions of people. Both events that occurred were ones of a creative nature. They started with a thought that defied the norms.
Through everything, creativity with give us prosperity, and could very well be our downfall. Although, one must admire the effect one single concept can have on everything that exists beside the natural World around us.
