Outstanding essay. You are correct. What remains is the creative acts, the creative things you produced. That aspect of productivity, not the widgets.

We all consume, but some also produce. And it is in this act of production, producing something personally meaningful that meaning iyself is found, from songs and essays to kids. Create something and let it consume you.

Such a thought provoking post, jam packed with so many truths. What so many people don't see, ignore, or don't have time to consider is that creativity is like blood--it's a vital life force, one whose lack drains the very life from our souls. But when you ignore the time that may be "wasted" and pursue creativity, it's like getting a transfusion from Superman... or the Universe, which is who made Superman to begin with.
