E-book Explaining Imagination
uppose you awoke one day having lost your imagination.Some things would be easier. There would be no wavering on what clothes to wear. You wouldn’t be able to imagine the different possibilities. The creativity of your work might suffer, however. And you would do well to avoid films and novels with absurd or devastating plot lines. Unable to imagine the events described, you’d have no choice but to corral them, somehow, into your view of the real.Games of pretense would come to an end, confounding your partners in cha-rades. How can you pretend that you’re a bodybuilder, if you can’t imagine being one? Worse, your empathy would diminish, as you could no longer imagine what it’s like to be someone else—no longer stand in anyone’s shoes but your own.Yet few could rival your honesty. When you can’t imagine things being differ-ent than they are, you won’t conceive of a lie, much less tell one. This would affect your personal relationships in interesting ways. Even so, you’d have an enviable peace of mind. What’s there to worry about, when you can’t imagine the future?
