Being created or being borned

One reason explaining why human creates is because human is created, not borned. Creationism emphasise the narrative of how human was being created, and the fact that each human is created unique, not a single human is the same. The uniqueness is stressed in creationism. In creation there is also a hint of a purpose, although this purpose is mystified. With modern science and medicine the 'story' of human being created is sidelined as mere story and human are described as being borned into the world, with a hint of chance and non uniqueness, all healthy human possessed of same body and genders, the uniqueness of individual is downplayed. As urbanisation spread over the world with cities and megapolis, humans are reduced to numbers and the faceless mass. Eventually everyone thinks similar and acted according to social conventions, compromising and subjugation to the requirements of media society and institutional governance. It is no co-incidental that individualism is stressed in Western society as industrialisation become the dominant historical process, in effect masking or in reaction to the lack of it. The artist as a figure becomes the symbol of individual struggle against the mass, yet people forget that each person is unique individual. Each a unique work of the divine, because life itself is not just a matter of being borned.
