I'd like my creations to be consumed...

• tluyben2 9y ago
  That is something I struggled with: do I like creating or do I like others to consume my creations more? And, if the latter, do I like that more because that is how I make money? I concluded after many years (I am 42) that I like creating. I need consumption of it because I might need money but for me to be happy, only creating would suffice.

    My point was more that creation can't exist without consumption. It's also damn near impossible to not be a consumer. I agree that it's important to focus on creation, but I disagree with the "consumption is evil" mantra that comes out of these discussions at times.

      Ah yes, I agree with you. It is needed. And there is not all too much wrong with it either. The evil probably comes from the pointless consumption? Not sure if we can live without that or where useful ends and pointless begins.
