The Apple Cart Theory of Creativity

You upset the apple cart, and all those apples fall out and you go and make apple pie with it. Just so you know that apple pie will be perfect. The crust will be perfectly crumbly, the filling will have just the right blend of cinnamon and sugar and apples. That apple pie you make when the apple cart is upset is what I call creativity. I mean do you ever see creativity being inspired by sunshine and moonstars? Creativity like a lot of good things in life comes to you when the apple cart is upset!!!!


Reader, I do agree that it does seem highly plagiarised and severely inspired by the "chicken soup for the soul" level "lemonade" analogy of life. But I like this one better, because sometimes a better kick than chocolate is biting into some really sumptuous apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. That moment of bliss, and pure joy in eating something beautiful is what I call life. Lemonade is never quite perfect, it is either a tad bit too sour or a tad bit too sweet. There is such a thing called the perfect apple pie. We have all eaten it sometime. That perfect pie is what this theory is based on. The ability to put one's mind into something and create perfection is creativity in my opinion.

So then reader mine, to that moment when the smell of fresh baked pie inspired us to take a bite and experience perfection. I toast this slighcha plagiarised but nevertheless original theory!!!! :-P
