It sounds like you’re saying that you hold the following to be true:
“Only activities that involve creation can lead to joy.”
But you also agree that “watching a sunset can lead to joy”.
Presumably you agree that you did not create the sunset.
Now we’ve found a contradiction: an activity (watching sunset) that leads to joy but that didn’t involve any creation.
This has nothing to do with prompting. It’s just a rebuttal of the _proof_ that you used in order to support your statement that “prompting cannot possibly lead to joy”. The argument you gave was “because prompting does not involve creation.”
I have exhibited a counterexample to the argument you gave. Any counterexample immediately shows that the argument was wrong. Therefore your argument was wrong. Your conclusion might still be right, but we can all be sure, on the basis of this counterexample, that the argument you gave to prove your conclusion was wrong.
