“
The reason creativity is so fascinating is that when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life. The excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab comes close to the ideal fulfillment we all hope to get from life, and so rarely do. Perhaps only sex, sports, music, and religious ecstasy— even when those experiences remain fleeting and leave no trace— provide as profound a sense of being.
But creativity also leaves an outcomes that adds to the future.

“Wordnik not only pulls definitions from several major dictionaries, but it paints a picture of a word metaphorically through recent Twitter uses and literally through Flickr images. It’s all in service of an ambitious mission statement: “Our goal is to show you as much information as possible, just as fast as we can find it, for every word in English, and to give you a place where you can make your own opinions about words known.”” Read the full review on Good.
