The Usefulness of Creativity - The Uselessness of Competition


Creative thinking is honesty, competitive thinking is war. The concepts are that simple, but the explanation for these concepts is not. I will explain fully this reality with this article. Indeed, first the basic concepts to sell you on my idea that creative thinking is honesty and competitive thinking is war. Creative thinking is inventive, and ultimately all competitive thinking leads to some sort of conflict, including war when you think about it deeply. Some would argue that not all genuine creative thinking is honesty and not all genuine competitive thinking leads to conflict of some sort. But why is all creative thinking honesty.

When you put full, honest effort into creative thinking and create something from music to a productive invention that helps others and gets mass-produced. My point is that competitive thinking should be eschewed and creative thinking should genuinely be embraced. Competitiveness and war may stimulate temporarily, but creativity stimulates permanently without looking back. This is how real creativity genuinely works. Real competition always ends up competition and war of some sort, or if it reverses itself productively, it ends up genuine creativity.

Ultimately, creative thinking is service, competitive thinking is war. Person against person, team against team, nation against nation, world against world. This against that. Competition is always war and does not make things better. Creative progress only makes things better. Competition masks fear and "keeping up with everyone else" and is unhealthy. No, I did not say do not make things better, but I did say, create ever better. In my mind and in the nature of real life, that is what it comes down to as a principle. When considering creativity and competition, it comes down to healthy productive action versus unhealthy aggressive action.

Indeed, creativity is always more healthy than competition. Competition says: who has the bigger gun. Creativity says: who can do something creative with the metal that would have been the gun? In fact, in a genuinely creative society, the gun would not be created to have the competitive war with.

Money, is it used to enrich yourself creatively or is it used to compete with others in an unhealthy "keeping up" sort of way? Indeed, genuine financial health is always creative rather than competitive. Competition is for losers. Creativity is for the most genuine of winners. Competition with consciousness is destructive war. Creativity with consciousness is beneficial action when you really break through all of the mess and think about it and act om the reality of what existence and life are. Earned goodness is genuine creativity, created evil is competition.

When all things are considered, it is only logical that this conception of competition and creativity are right. We see that fact in big, hulking competitive businesses instead of honest, creative businesses destroying themselves because they cannot adapt to changing markets and economies as they become more creative and conducive to adaptation. Honest, creative businesses can be big or small. Business that are too competitive are too big, hulking, uncreative and money grubbing always. When considering creativity, there is no such thing as greed, only resources being used productively and honestly rationally. That is what makes creativity better also, smooth advancement.

Now, sure, I can say in this article, things that do not work that sound new, nut are really dishonest and silly or universal honest principles that do work, but are "as honest as the day is long", and "as old and used as the hills", so to speak. So, one last thing telling the superiority of creativity to competition:

Creativity is strong, disciplined, balanced development and patience. Competition wants to "keep up", "do it now", and have war. The core of competition is not any way to live, the core of creativity is the honest way to live. It works.
