I re-read the thread just now and I have to say that sm's point about creation is striking to me even though I DON'T believe in a creator. I've been thinking about that point since he made it and I ALSO believe that CREATING is the most important thing we can do as people. Bringing new things to the world is the greatest thing we can do for it.
I thought about that a lot when I started my business, which is a whole different creation process; my dream has always been to bring something new to the world and guide it along in such a way that it winds up, net, improving all our lots in life somehow. Business creation shares something with artistic creation in that way.
It's also why I'm not personally interested in playing in a cover band. It's still meaningful, but not as meaningful as if you create something from scratch.
