The Inspiration of People

People say they are inspired by different things: nature, music, literature. I myself have realized that I am inspired most by other people, and I believe that everyone is actually inspired by other people as well. If you think about it, we do things almost always for other people. We do things for other people, in memory of them, in spite of them, to prove them wrong, to make them happy, to correct their wrong or to generally shows others our capabilities. Everything we do centers around other people.

So, I may be inspired by a book, but there was a person who is the author of that book. Or if I'm inspired by a painting, aren't I really inspired by the artist who created the idea of that painting? People have the amazing ability to imagine and to create; we are quite the interesting species.

This shouldn't make it seem as if we can not do anything without others, we simply work with each other on a daily basis. Even if we do something wrong, it may be just the inspiration that somebody else needed to do something great. So no matter what we do, whether it is a great accomplishment we can be proud of, or if it is a bad move we are ashamed of, we should not take it for granted because it may inspire others to create and act and live.

Good work everyone :)
