“Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies”
— Erich Fromm

Simplified Meaning:
Many people go through life without ever truly discovering or expressing their full potential. They live cautiously and follow routines without exploring their unique talents or passions. Think of a person who always wanted to paint but never picks up a brush because they are afraid of failing. Creativeness is about taking that risk, starting new projects, and trying new things despite the fear. When you embrace your creative side, you experience life more deeply and meaningfully. By doing so, you truly live before your life comes to an end, unlike those who never venture beyond their comfort zones.
