The Wheel Pales Without the Axle

The wheel pales without the axle. This is a fact that cannot be denied for the real use of the wheel is when it is utilized in conjunction with an axle. This holds true from a child's red wagon to the largest Semi's on the road.

I bring this up to illustrate that even something so fundamental and core to our being as the wheel it is relatively useless when out of context or not aligned with other objects. The key is socialization for that brings things together much like interacting with people. Thus when things are brought together you have a more cohesive and better functioning system.

When you bring things together you are in the creative process and thus making choices as where to align the various things that have been placed before you. You look over everything carefully and then start the selection process carefully choosing each item so that it will fit exactly as you want. When you are done choosing you have your creation, be it a wedding cake or automobile the creative process is at work.

However, much like writing an article the product is always subject to modification and improvement which may mean adjusting items that you have selected or even completely removing them all together. All in all the point here is that when you want to create something you have to be aware of the weaknesses and strengths of the items you are choosing and remember that you can really only know this when the item is in place juxtaposed with the other items you have selected. Watch and see how things work collectively not individually and you will see results!
