„One who has the soul of a creator must be a creator of ideas and thou…”
„One who has the soul of a creator must be a creator of ideas and thoughts; they cannot shut themselves up in their superficial study alone. For the flame of the soul rises of its own accord, and it is impossible to stop it from its course.”From Shemonah Kevatzim VII, 190
A creator is a person who cannot be satisfied with superficial information. They must touch, ask, dismantle frameworks, and seek a way. To innovate. And when they do this, they blossom and soar and feel good. There are different people in the world, and when each does their role, the world becomes diverse, beautiful, and rich. We must learn how to let each person grow the growth that is fitting for them — not to clip the wings of others or our own wings, and on the other hand, to be with constant uprightness and self-examination that we are indeed doing our role and not fleeing from it.
