"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction." Pablo Picasso

Hi Bogdan, Have I missed something here. Paul

Hi Paul, The way I understand it is that if you create something new (better), you will eliminate some existing solution. You know what happens to old things. They go out of fashion. Figuratively speaking they get destroyed. Bogdan

Hi Bogdan, Not exactly sure of Pablo's defination, but to me I believe he could be referring to the fact that in order to create something you must first have a basis ( be it an idea or object or,,). And while we claim we are only adding to it or enhancing it, we are in reality destroying it as soon as we change it's original composition, even though a better (or worse) version takes it place. Have a Great day

Ah ha, got it. to create something new, what ever you use to create it with, will ultimutly have to change (destroyed)to become the new entity. :) Phew that took some lateral thinking, thank god it's friday. Paul
