I concur with the ordering of the values and I guess there are deep connections between love, creativity and truth.<br /><br />Love is acceptance, in my view: the willingness to accept a person, idea, or event into consciousness where it can then be understood as part of a whole. To an extent, all perception is creative since every situation is represented as a unique combination of existing ideas. <br /><br />Sometimes, despite this willingness, there is confusion and this is where creativity may play its part, populating our minds with new entities or new attributes of existing entities.<br /><br />Occasionally an entity is created which has reach beyond its parochial origins. If communicated to others, it may provide a historically new perspective (art) or express a universal explanatory truth (science).<br /><br />-- TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-32998106259926234212015-04-28T12:53:11.709+01:002015-04-28T12:53:11.709+01:00It's a nice distinction of love and creativity...It's a nice distinction of love and creativity. I suppose this can also be aligned with the Being and Becoming that some theologians and philosophers have referred to God's nature: Being in God as love, and Becoming with God as creativity.tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.com
