Creative activity - affords the greatest happiness
The greatest happiness a human being can experience is when they are creating. Why? Because that is when they come close to the very essence of God. God is the Creator, and human beings, whom he made in his image, can be creators, too. Of course, it is not a question of comparing human creations with the divine creation but of emphasizing this truth: that happiness is found in the creative act, so in this sense artists experience the greatest feelings of happiness. You will say, 'What about mystics and scholars?' Yes, insofar as they can also be creators, they experience the same happiness as artists. And don't now go protesting that you have known artists who were tormented and very unhappy. What I mean when I say that artists are happy is that while they are creating, in the act of creation, they live in plenitude - and 'artist' can also be taken to mean any human being in the process of creating.
