Imagination & Culture

Imagination is an underrated or mislooked-at quality. It allows you, among other things, to imagine how others live, feel, think, in other terms, it is also a quality of empathy. Just like culture is the bridge between you and others, through a shortening or collapse of time and culture obstacles or differences, imagination allows you to live better in the world. Without imagination, you may well have no real social interaction or integration. This social, intellectual, and affective/sensorial quality is often overlooked, forgotten, unknown, ignored.
Just thought I'd try to set the record straight in this brief "apology" of imagination.
The thought or remark of the day
