I couldn't agree more, although my background in advertising was inverse as well. From the world's largest agency (3 years at JWT), I spent 10 years at a mid-sized outfit, and then I finally put my name on the door when I was in my mid-thirties. What may make this different than programming, is that in agencies we all tend to be given as much room to create as possible (the exception being at JWT). However, to live is to create. Humans are in their soul creative, as that is part of the life force, the source. Let that atrophy and you become a waking/walking part of a whole. I love both your analogy to animals and food. Great Post!
