"Fear, conformity, immorality: these are heavy burdens. They drain us of creative energy. And when we are drained of creative energy, we do not create. We procreate, but we do not create"

About this Quote

This quote by David McCallum talks to the idea that worry, conformity, and immorality can be heavy problems that can drain us of our innovative energy. When we are drained pipes of this energy, we are unable to create, but instead, we are just able to procreate. This recommends that when we are weighed down by worry, conformity, and immorality, we are not able to think outside of the box and create originalities. We are instead stuck in a cycle of just replicating what has actually currently been done. This quote motivates us to break free from these burdens and take advantage of our imaginative energy in order to develop something brand-new and special.
