We are all creators, each of us, but the quest for personal fame has detracted us from creating.
A system that can get us there would be a world in which no one takes credit for his work. Instead, we can all contribute anonymously, and in secret, and take joy when our works are good enough to be recognized, and take joy for the grace of the giver of gifts when we read, and listen, and see, the works of his creation. All inspiration comes from the giver of gifts, and it is more glorious, much more rewarding, to work in secret, good and glorious works.
There's a story we each are making with our lives, and if you can imagine a kinder world, a world with less suffering, a world with more love, than begin the work in yourself by creating. Don't keep it inside. If you bury your gifts and do not release their works without concern for who will benefit materially, release them to benefit yourself financially, because if it's a good work, it could still inspire someone else.
