I. P’tah said unto the Niðr, whom some called ‘Dwarves’:

“Create.”

They said: “Gladly. That seems worthwhile. And it’s dark down here otherwise.”

He said, “Build.”

They said: “That’s very vague, O Master.”

He did say: “I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I’m working on something right now.”

AND SO, SOME SAY, IT WAS.

II. The God P’tah, Created All Things, Everywhere, In All Totality, Including Himself/.

Or perhaps he did not. There are many Creator Gods. It is, perhaps, not strange to see how many of them have created, they are certain, they Universe; and perhaps many of them are right.

P’tah created All. Or he did not. He certainly created many things and continues to do so; we do not know his far past, but we can know, with certainty, that tomorrow, he will be at his forge, his desk, his tax–deductible solar chariot.

Did he create All? Will he get credit for it?

He may not care.

He’s happy it was Created. It’s impressive.

Although, of course…it could certainly be improved.

III. Creation is one act which you can engage entirely and purely for yourself and still improve the world for many others. Some of those whose motives are most purely greed or obsession create that which benefits the most people.

Creation can say that. What can Destruction say?

They say obsession is not good. But most of those who say it are not happy, and they don’t create much. They waste their time on foolish things, which neither outgrow their creators, nor outlast them.

Do not offer them pity. They need and deserve it, but it is not constructive.

IV. Make well. Make that of which you will be proud.

V. Is it better to be happy, or satisfied?

Keep on working, friend. Keep on working.
