Often those who create something momentous weren’t trying to do that.
As in, they weren’t trying to wow the world, and they weren’t trying to become an icon.
Instead, they were following an interest, or a passion, or a curiosity of theirs. Or they were trying to help someone local, or a family member, or solve an issue or an ill that they could not abide.
And, almost always, they were a cog in a long line of research and tradition.
Then, lo, fortune smiled and things came together in that moment! Eureka!
Which is great for us, as we can reap what got created.
All of the above is a good reminder to 1) not lionize solely the creator, 2) not to go even further and worship them, and 3) (and perhaps most importantly) to be very wary of those who seem more fascinated with and invested in their fame and/or wealth and/or image and/or adoration than with their creation.
Which is not to say we shouldn’t celebrate and acknowledge the creator(s), only to say to celebrate them with the correct amount. And, even better, to more celebrate the achievement and the creation.
As, I would say, what happened with the Apollo moon program, where the achievement of all of NASA and of humanity to get us to the Moon is celebrated on par with the celebration of the astronauts who went there. As Michael Collins even described as he was touring the world after Apollo 11, people came to him and were celebrating, “Wow, wow, we did it, we did it!” Not ,“You astronauts did it,” or, “You americans did it,” but “We, human kind, did it.”
And, like that, together we can create beautiful things, standing on the shoulders of giants and sharing our gifts to be a contribution.
