I am a creator of many things...
- I create an atmosphere when I walk in a room - I create good vibes for all those around me - I create memories...both good an bad alike (which are really all good, provided you wait long enough) - I create bonds with those I choose to make a part of my life - and I create walls between myself and those who I don't want anything to do with
I am a master of my world... I create all that is in it - all that has ever been and all that will ever be
and in that sense - we are all creators for we all create our own worlds through our own interpretations of the world we share

Agreed, we are all creators in some way ... although some are more creative than others.
We also have the ability to 'destroy'. Maybe its a Yin/Yang balance thing *shrug*.
Why do you suppose that it is so much easier to 'destroy' ... than it is to 'create'.

I think the universe naturally leans more towards chaos...and so breaking down structure simply goes with the flow of things, whereas creating structure implies overpowering/mastering the rules of nature
or something like that anway...

It is easy to destroy... and fool can break something. It takes imagination to create something new. Same thing with health... any fool can kill somebody, but it takes love and talent to bring the sick back to health.

We are all creators. With the same potential as the original creation.
I create music, art, harmony, love, understanding, etc.
I also destroy from time to time
All a part of the cycle

im pretty sure assassination is illegal. therefore, bush MUST have a premise of "conflict" to actually legally kill someone. 9/11 left a door WIDE open.
i create nothing. i do things, and i improve/ruin things, but i cannot think of anything tangible i have created.

Sorry to hijack the tread...
> bush MUST have a premise of "conflict" to actually legally kill someone. 9/11 left a door WIDE open.
I'm not saying he doesn't have cause... I just wish the solution didn't involve violence.
Ok... back to the thread...
> but i cannot think of anything tangible i have created.
nothing lasts forever. Even the earth will one day be consumed by the sun... assuming reality holds together long enough.

If you create life you're a creator. Being a father, growing mushrooms, growing plants ..... That's the closest thing humans will have to do with god or the idea of god, creating life.

True ... on the other hand growing is farming ... and reproducing is a biological thing, your conciousness has little to do with it (other than wanting to have sex) God has as much to do with it, as you do ... imho.
I was thinking about stuff people create like art, music, design, writing, storytelling, building things, etc.
Does God have any free time for art? Or is everything God does already art(i think so)? Does he really have any free time? Is he done? Is he busy?
Sorry my train of thought got derailed ... what were we talking about ...

creator?? you mean *shows you his empty hand* this???
how about this..
*dances without rhythm* I am a white guy after all
you created this thread...no??
you created the thought that was in this thread.
then you made a ripple effect causing me to now post what I am posting.
I created this post
I created my off beat dance
btw I stil have this...*shows you his empty hand again*
you created all of this.
you had the effect on my reactions, through question.
we all do this
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Thats why were here. To create. I believe, albeit it is my belief, Swami Disclaimer, That after life is mastered and one has evolved to the highest possible degree the they become a creator of a universe. I think that is how infinity works. Inside our little heads an entire univers can reside. BTW< I have no proof.

Creation, is the most natural thing for a person so do. Now destruction, now that is something awsome. TO destroy something someone created.

I've long thought that destruction was just another form of creation.
Change is brought on by many vectors. It is only one's perspective that deems something as constructive or destructive.

Sculpture, persuing architecure, taking care of my bamboo plants, taking care of my friends and family. I do like to destroy things though, those things old and tired warn and tattered, i will burn them, and wash them away, and when they are gone, in their ashes when the rain takes them away... seeds of life bloom, shed some tears, new ideas to create!
