Quote by Robert Macleod

The creator is both detached and committed, free and yet ensnared, concerned but not too much so. If motivation is too strong the person is blinded; if the objective situation is too tightly structured, the person sees none of its alternative possibilities.

The creator is both detached and committed, free and yet ens

Summary

This quote illustrates the delicate balance that the creator must maintain. They need to be detached enough to think outside the existing structures and boundaries, allowing for innovative ideas and alternative possibilities to flourish. Yet, they must also remain committed and concerned enough to drive their motivation forward. If motivation becomes overpowering, it can cloud their judgment and hinder their ability to see the bigger picture. Similarly, if they are overly confined by rigid structures, they might miss out on exploring different avenues and possibilities. The quote emphasizes the importance of finding a middle ground between detachment and commitment for effective creation.

Humanity cannot lift itself by its own bootstraps; there is no such thing as spontaneous generation; life does not come from crystals; poetry does not come from donkeys; international peace does not come from wars; social justice does not come from selfishness. With all our knowledge of chemistry we cannot make a human life in our laboratories because we lack the unifying, vivifying principal of a soul which comes only from God. Life is not a push from below; it is a gift from above. It is not the result of the necessary ascent of man but the loving descent of God.
