Anna: Hey, I was just thinking about something I heard again recently. They say creativity is like a gift from some higher realm, and that an ordinary person can’t really create something truly unique on their own.
Mark: Oh, yeah? I’ve heard that too. But when I think about it, my mind goes to those incredible, one-of-a-kind worlds—like Dune, Foundation, or The Hobbit. They feel so unique, even if they might share some vibes with other stories. Don’t you think?
Anna: Exactly! When I read books by those sci-fi authors, I often catch myself thinking, “How do you even come up with this stuff?” Like, you’d have to be some kind of genius with a brain wired differently from everyone else’s.
Mark: Haha, I get that. But I’ve also heard another take—that creativity flows from tapping into your shadow side, you know? Like, diving into the darker parts of yourself. It’s that whole idea of light being found in the darkest places, or how the night’s always darkest before the dawn.
Anna: Oh, that’s deep. So, you’re saying those wild, unique worlds might come from wrestling with your inner shadows? That kinda makes sense—maybe the most brilliant ideas are born in those murky, hidden places.
Mark: Yeah, maybe. It’s like you’ve got to face the dark to find the spark. What do you think—could an “ordinary” person like us tap into that kind of creativity?
Anna: Hmm, maybe if we’re brave enough to dig into those shadowy corners of our minds… Who knows what kind of worlds we could come up with?
