Not that I’m very religious, but it does affect human beings in the last thousands years.

Human inspiration is spawned from a sense of hope and purpose. Hope and purpose are terms of faith. I think one has to have either a great talent either physically or intellectually or artistically or an aptitude to really influence others for their good to stay hepped up. The best is if you know yourself (why you’re here) and can translate that into some form of service. When you think about it, what sorts of people have inspired you? You would possibly conclude that these are people that have inspired you through their ability to reassure you, to calm you or to fire you up in an unselfish way to be all you can be. They do this through their own sense of purpose.

other humans.

for example. Someone who has every odd stacked against them and still overcomes that…
a more specific example: the blind man who runs around the back cove all the time.

For artists: sex.
For writers: love.
For everyone else: money.

If you could trace the origins of inspiration in the prism of the human mind you would find its source to be the dark light of our sexuality.

I’ve noticed that the best art (painting, MUSIC) comes from people who are deeply tormented and/or are suffering.

How many of the greatest musicians ever have killed themselves, or died from substance abuse issues.

Depends on what they’re being inspired about.
My inspiration for writing comes from so many things. Love. Pain. My brother. Nick. Gage. My brother. And something, you guys. :D
