You cannot influence how you were born and how well adapted you will be for the world you are born into. The problem is that things like technology and art can not exist if there is no creativity, because nobody can imagine anything better than the status quo. Technology and art do not evolve by themselves. | |

Every drawing conveys meaning, but someone has to think about what people would conceive as the meaning of the drawing. This requires creativity so that you can use different and new styles of drawing and storytelling to tell your story. Someone had to start and do something different. Of course there are many Animes with similar styles and stories. But some creative person had to start everything. | |

So you can tell stories visually without thinking about the visual part. | |
