We know from human experience that creativity assists in a breadth of circumstances and contributes to the richness of life's engagement. Creativity sometimes manifests itself in solitude, but more often than not, its fruits are products of past or present interaction with others. It is difficult to think of a situation where creativity is more essential to a triumphant conclusion than when human beings attempt to resolve problems. The resolution of dilemmas is most frequently assisted by unfettered communication. The free flow of ideas facilitates generation of options.
Options allow for broader analysis.
Evaluation of choices ultimately leads to the alternative that will yield the highest and best outcome. When we remove certain topics from discussion, we suppress liberated thought and interrupt the inspirational process. But inspiration is the instrument that so often provides the leverage for human action. In stifling meaningful discourse, we potentially rob ourselves of our finest responses. A trend that runs counter to the ideal of unencumbered communication is gaining favor in the most peculiar of places.
