I believe in

A man walked up to me in Lewisham. I thought he was lost, wanted directions. But no. He asked me what I believed in. I thought about it a bit and replied:
"I believe in creativity."
That clearly took him by suprise and took him off his trail. As far as I could tell, he was trying to get me to meet the local buddha-jesus-messiah person to exchange some valuable thoughts about saving the terrible no-goal world we live in. He never got to deliver his pitch, nor did he make much sense. I guess he expected me to say I believed in one of the known religions or none of them at all, and any of those would have given him a clear path to start off of. Sorry, I was no help.
After a few minutes I wished him good luck and was on my way to the market.
