Humans have an impressive creative potential. Our ability to cure a variety of diseases, to generate nuclear energy, among other remarkable inventions attests to our ability to work through ideas/challenges by imagining possible outcomes, and our capability to make them into materially resounding reality.
Creativity means using innovation, science, technology to create something new and practical. Imagination allowed us to reach beyond being successful species, but to become an exceptional one. As a matter of fact, this human potential was identified long ago, when we named our own species "sapiens", which means "wise".
Nowadays, powerless is what many humans identify as. They have forgotten the impact of Imagination and how it is lodged in us, sapiens. This is why, don’t let the 24 hours cycle, the news and the monotonous daily life mislead you as to what lies at the heart of the human experience. If you step back and look at the various opportunities you can attain, the world might seem like a slightly better place, and you will have a more realistic take on what the world actually is.
