The sixth episode of “inhabiting the world” is dedicated to imagination.
According to Sir Ken Robinson, the great educationist, “Imagination is the source of all human achievement, it is a wellspring of all the practical powers of creativity, as creativity is applied imagination that must be cultivated through opportunity and education.”
Amanda Gorman, who recited her inspiring poem at President Biden’s inauguration gave an interview to Michelle Obama for Time magazine.
« For the past six years- she said- whenever I’ve written a poem that I knew was going to be public or performed, I told myself, write the Inauguration poem. I don’t think I would have been able to write that Inauguration poem if I hadn’t lived every day of my life as if that was the place I was going to get. »
Imagination is the motor that fuels a dream and makes it come true.
One cannot create something that cannot be imagined.
With closed eyes, we can imagine things around us. This is perhaps an innate facility gifted only to human kind. The origin of the word imagination is the Latin imaginaire meaning to draw an image.
Seneca stated that we are more often frightened than hurt, and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
« The worst thing we can do is suffer in our imagination. People get tormented by fears that will never become real, they suffer from regrets due to events that should no longer dictate their reality. They are torn between the past and the future. We need to run our imagination instead of letting it run us. »
