kerravonsenThe reason why humans are creative is because we all gotta learn stuff ourselves, which opens the way for happy accidents.
But babies are the most selfish beings in the whole universe, because they aren't capable of recognising anything outside of themselves, let alone having empathy. And then we have to spend the rest of our lives trying to overcome the inherent selfishness we were born with.
That's just the way humans are, in order for us not to be all clones of one mind. In order for us to be unique, we have to start off separate.
