He focused on creative writing (makes sense based on his profession), as the thing he believes in. He beleives there is truth in the fiction and we can describe more about the work through this expression that we can through facts and sensory analysis of the world around us.<BR/><BR/>I found it kinda selfish. If I can't channel my creativity in such a way, am I lying to myself and the world? Is my belief not equal to his belief?<BR/><BR/>This is where I go with faith and religion. I fear we have a one up-manship about what I believe and what you believe. If what you believe isn't what I believe, than is it still real, true, or whatever?adphish1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03065898806012543943noreply@blogger.com
