What drives us; we creators, we artists? To be first. To be at the forefront. To push beyond what already is and see nothing in our way. We lunge forward at the infinite last step towards the ribbon always just out of reach, pressing our faces against the boundary of knowledge and expression, breaking it, and seeing virgin land untouched by man. The untouched forest and field, the unreached peak, the victor of muscle of sinew; these pale in comparison to the limitless reaches of our minds.
However, this I do not know; why do all humans strive for such a thing? Why do we press on to be where none have gone before? It is not for contest or conquest; these are easily sated in other ways.
