go forth and create

Intentional or not conscience or unconscious we all create. Whether it be a artist painting a tree, a engineer making a car, or you reading this article creating watch time.

So by definition even if you aren’t consciously willing yourself to create something you are still creating, which means you are already following the moral imperative to create. Even if you die, your one death can create a lot of things. Feelings of sadness and mourning, income if your body gets buried, and soil for the ground. But what does it mean to create if its inherent in most of the universe?

It means that’s you have same obligation, to create, but instead of being the subject that gets acted upon by objects or other subjects, you have a choice to act upon objects and subjects as a subject.

Instead of just your body using your energy you as a subject decide where your energy should go toward.

In the end, creation is what made and define us and is what will fox and discontinue us, while the above statement is a form of determinism it is also a form of existentialism, or a way for us to stop living in bad faith and live out of freedom with all it entail.

So I say again, go forth and create
