I believe we all bear the need to express our experiences, be they good or bad, pretty or ugly (in the end, it's all a matter of perspective anyway). And, it would be a shame if we were to limit the creative means by which we allow ourselves to be expressive. Paper, and the "toys" we make with it, is just a medium, something through which we can manifest our creativity. There should't be any boundaries, be they openly expressed or tacitly agreed upon, to what can or can't be done with it. Sure, toys are fun. They make us smile & laugh, but they can also make us think & question, frown & cry.
As such, this toy is a welcomed wakeup call. It reminds us that what we all begin with is just a blank piece of paper, an empty space open to infinite possibilities & outcomes. We shouldn't restrain ourselves. Instead, we should embrace this potential and unitize it in order to express ourselves in whatever manner we see fit.
