creativity

none of the thoughts we have is creative or original

we don't think of them ourselves, they are just subconscious reminders of our daily occurrences. copies, in a way; of what we experience throughout our lives.

then how do we distinguish "creative" people from those who are not? do they reflect on their experiences more? no. they just come across material that is prone to being interpreted. so maybe it is not that the person is creative, but rather a skilled interpreter.
