creativity and honesty - a link

Also i wonder why i can't keep my blogs clear of personal angst.
I almost feel jealose of the very interesting and purely 'idea oriented' blogs that i see.

but then a thought stuck me... a strange thought...

... that 'creativity' is the highest form of 'honesty'... ok, iknow that sounds outrageous.. but let me see if i can put my thoughts across... that creative people use their freedom with honesty or lack of inhibitions as their fuel... and thats whats different about them,.... musicians write about love, heartbreak, protest etc... its very bare emotion centric... artists make paintings about normal people and snippets of their life.. or pour their love for god, onto the canvas... film makers..( some) rely on telling 'honest' stories... either illustrating crazily real and quirky people, or about honest magical dreams... but whats the common person about creative thought is that it reveals a nakedness of emotion, and truth, that even they don't show to themselves......

makes any sense?

the link im sure exists.. and great art always has this link as a foundation... it is only when the artist tries to manipulate it- his own deep, true conviction... that it gets phony, and sometimes wins an award!!

i think it's the process of being honest which gives birth to creativity. It's like a 'manthan' you explore your inner self to be honest and in the process you create some product... and the process is endless because truths keep changing with time...
