A moment can transform into an inspiration provided the threads involved with the moment are all utilized to ultimatum and satisfied.
Mathematical proof:-
Example: You are in search of a "perfect" song. You are depressed and you hear a song that really elevates your entire feelings (brain included). The threads being "search", "song", "environment" and "you".
Time is a healer and yes for inspirations too, it is a 'healer'. In the sense, it heals off old inspirations with new ones.
Gandhi is a thread who transformed the moment 15th August 1947 into an inspiration. But time is a healer then and now. Those who believed India needed only independance believed/believe Gandhi(or the moment) has an inspiration. Contrasting to it, those who believed India needed inter-dependance-based-independance believed/believe Gandhi(or the moment) shattered or restrained their hopes.
I for sure think these are ridiculous as arguments. But the bigger picture is "what is the search for" as a thread in the "moment to happen" to transform into an inspiration. Attitude is one of the key parameters as a thread to the transformation.
Take any inspiration such as Einstein, Thomas Alva Edison, Armstrong, Chawla, Pete Sampras, Tiger Woods, Mother Teresa, Al Pacino, Jayalalitha, Temples in Tamil Nadu, next-door-Indian-Army-soldier, Chernobyl incident, Hiroshima/Nagasaki incident, Bermuda Triangle - everything can be proved as above.
