As children we would escape by retreating into our imagination; as adults most of us have long since lost most of our imaginative capacites, so instead we retreat into intoxicants. Truely gifted artistic people seem to have somehow retained this capacity - thus, the old idea that great suffering is condusive to the creation of great art becomes an obvious one. The artist escapes into his or her imagination (even if intoxicants are also used), and presto - a depressed substance abuser presents the world with the works of a Jackson Pollack, Emily Dickenson, Poe, etc. |

I use intoxicants to forget about the world I live in. I dont think the creativity really dissapears. For me at least. |

I thought this thread was going to be about the imaginative capacity of corn fritters. |
