RE: Discussion: Imagining a Life Without Imagination
People without imagination are just downright lazy, IMO.
It's something they do not use, not something they do not possess.
Like 99% of TV viewers (for example.)
They would prefer to be told what to imagine, by someone else, than actually do the work for themselves.
Possibly so. Maybe lazy, maybe just excessively conformist... and who needs imagination if you're merely repeating something that has already been done a bajillion times?
Sometimes I take a moment of gratitude for having grown up in the era of books... we'd read endlessly, and HAVE to imagine what was going on; what the people and places looked like.
Me too, friend.
For me -every Saturday morning was couple of hours exploring my library.
It was true quality time.
