Creativity means breaking through what already exists. It requires imagination, thinking and a lot of inspiration. Inspiration is something that sometimes you can’t find no matter how you look for it, and sometimes it comes out in large quantities. If humans don’t have creativity, we will always stop at the present and there will be no progress.
