So i was listening to a lecture by a man named Ubaydullah Evans and in it, he said, "people express creativity when they have the freedom to do so." This point was brought up in a discussion related to how creativity can be stifled even when its needed, specifically in certain Muslim communities. I am not going to go into the idiosyncrasies of certain Muslim communities or discuss my issues these communities (probably a post for a later date) but i want to highlight the idea of freedom here. It's very possibly true.
Genius, Artistry, and the like will not be able to thrive without room to grow. I would say that if this stifling is happening to you, especially by the hand of those who care for you, it's time for a chat. People need to know that, everyone has their own tool box that they use to work and traverse in the world, you shouldn't feel so limited that you can only use one or two of your ten or even twenty tools! Our job is to help our loved one's grow and find best uses for their tools. To those who foster such environments of growth and help, we can't live without you, and thank you.
Lastly, an aside, to the viewers who are going out and protesting, please be safe.
