Is creativity valuable if it isn't shared?

Posted by Dinah on January 12, 2005, at 17:00:10

One subset of my argument with my therapist today.
I think creativity is valuable even if it's just for you. He thinks creativity is only valuable if it brings something positive to the world. Like whoever it was' poetry that was only published and shared after death. I say it was valuable before it was shared, he says it is valuable because it was eventually shared.
I *really* think he's wrong on this one, but I wonder if I'm missing something.
