I always envyed someone with any creative talent be it author or artist. And my belief is part of it is by birth. sure you can improve it but some part of it is given(by God or by DNA design depending on your belief). As a civilian, I often wondered about creating process - brilliant novel, speech, articles or a nice song,lyrics, music... how its made? how it comes to them and not others(or me).
We appreciate their work and elevate them- a mortal begin to this immortal status. To our disppointment they come back with not-so-good follow-up to their earlier work so we throw them to ground to face reality. Iam convinced that this emotional journey of ups(god-like) & downs with few trustworthy allies make the performer/authors into junkies leading to their personal problem, ego wars, realtionship/drugs problem, etc. so I like you & others always assummed creativity comes with its own price.
I watched this recent TEDtalks(which Iam great fan off) from Elizabeth Gilbert, an author who I haven't heard before. She delivered this funny & interesting speech about connecting & managing self-geniuses of creative minds.
Elizabeth Gilbert: A new way to think about creativity
Ok Iam no creative talent but I find this speech very interesting and remains me a line from Bhagavath Geetha-- 'Do your duty without expecting rewards'. But is it possible for a person to delink self from his/her work? and Is it possible for us fans to delink performance & performer?!

Wikiality, reality (un)defined
I am crazy fan of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert . they are smartest funny man.
Stephen Colbert's 'The Word' highlights many interesting thoughts including Wikiality.
"any user can change any entry, and if enough other users agree with them, it becomes true."
"let's bring democracy to knowledge"
- Stephen ColbertIsn't Religion is wikiality? enough people believes things to be true without having any credible evidence (for or against).
then why cannot we believe "we have more elephants in africa then anytime in the past" if its makes us happy.!?) what do you think!? let's all agree and make it a reality.
