We must be allowed opportunity for individual creative expression. Without this, our creativity WILL erupt into other areas, as it will not be stopped. To Be Human IS TO create.
Arguably all extracurricular ‘underhanded’, ‘sneakiness’, ‘bad habits’ even ‘crime,’ are all behaviors caused from misdirected, unexpressed creative expression.
Nail biting, over-eating, bulimia, inner-lip or cheek chewing that we feel no one can tell we are doing it, to cutting up one’s own arms and other even more harmful actions involving the lives of others, ALL stem from creative suppression of a kind. Even smoking cigarettes, though that does involve the desired fulfillment of other aspects also.
It is our creativity that naturally leads to our fulfilled sense of achievement, our ‘doing our best’, our sense of satisfaction, but all beginning with our creativity…
Not allowed ANY personal expression when I was ‘kept’ by my mother in her home for her advantage, I was very aware of going through and healing myself from one ‘problem’ behavior after another, as intuitive coping strategies ‘came’ to me to assist me to do so. 🙂
About C'mon Be a Human Already!
Lover of life, love, joy and music and all that brings clarity to a planet in need. Author, transformative/self mastery educator, sound healer, & singer songwriter. I am particularly interested in all languages, history, bringing an understanding to and mastery of, our feelings and thoughts; helping people attain inner peace; healthy sexual expression, development of consciousness, and in so doing, bringing a balance of our true selves operating in harmony on earth. I can provide the answers, my life has given me this. We have just gone off course. ;)
I was born into a living hell, where I was not allowed to speak -even to learn how- and I needed to employ military survival tactics as a toddler just to get around the house unharmed.;) I was forced to figure out life, or I was not going to survive, and I did so with completely unbiased eyes, as I could trust nothing that I was told by family who intended me harm. I started meditating in early childhood as just a natural instinct to run away as far as I could, behind my eyes . Figuring out what had caused my mother not to possess any natural maternal instinct, and why she couldn' t love me, enabled me much insight and gave cause for intense, undistracted research. Now it has been given the name Antisocial Personality Disorder/Narcissism/Sociopathy, but as her cruelty and control disorder were always accompanied by historical rules, orders, sayings and beliefs, I learned much of the 'knowledge' leading our species astray at the time.
I wanted to be the best Human Being I could Be, and I wanted to know how. I ran away at 5 years old, with my 8 year old brother asking to come with me, but, having no where to go, I sat at the corner sweet shop realising this and returned in secret, unpacking my little case to 'stick it out'.
So, living within her cruel, ignorant ways, while secretly studying what life was really all about, I noticed my life as a microcosm of what was happening large scale across the globe, which inspired me to share what I learned. : )
Many Blessings to you on your journey!
C'mon, Be a Human Already!;) 
I appreciate you sharing this viewpoint. I’m currently involved in observing pre-service teachers, and I always take great care when approaching the subject of student behavior. It’s so easy to say that students are “well-behaved” or were “misbehaving”, when instead we should (perhaps) be talking about what we as teachers are doing in our classrooms to engage our students in creative, meaningful learning. Most of us give our best effort, and it’s nice to find reminders like this one every once in a while!
Thank you so much for your educated feedback!;) Absolutely, to be human IS TO CREATE! 🙂
