One of the most practically advantageous things in the world is engineering and science (One of the least pragmatic being authorship of fiction). Perhaps any honest expression of self augments the metanarrative in a positive, creative way as long as it is done in conformity to the will of God (i.e. with morality intact). If you are like me you do not conceive of your work as a merely pragmatic endeavor. You found a thought life around it, almost a mythos. And whether you use your left brain or right you express something of yourself in your work. For instance, there is rarely one solution to a problem and the which is best is not always directly quantifiable. I only discourage an attitude of mediocrity; of getting by with simply getting the tasks done for the tasks sake alone.Jordan Munroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11884354719612898393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288312029844500963.post-75470494019743286532007-12-25T15:45:00.000-08:002007-12-25T15:45:00.000-08:00What about those of us who apply creativity within...What about those of us who apply creativity within the context of this world? As an engineer, I frequently apply my creative juices to transform the existing world. Many others such as architects, interior designers, inventors, and craftsman do the same.<BR/><BR/>How do you compare the acts of creative transformation of this world to the creatation of a fictional world? Do you view one as superior to the other?ChemEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018900455474987924noreply@blogger.com
