Imagination

Imagination might be my most childish value, but it is worthwhile none the less.

Without imagination; cars, medicine, events, ideas, and even the way we communicate with each other would be drastically different.

The fact that something can fabricate itself in your mind, and with enough effort, work, and thinking; it can become a tangible and interactive part of the physical realm we exist in.

I'm not sure where ideas come from, however I do believe that all ideas are a conglomeration of simpler ideas which have been pieced together in a certain way.

For instance, science enables us to make two similar devices with completely different functions. Each device runs off of electricity and each is readily available in most homes today. By altering the electric current in just a certain way, we are able to enact two entirely different outcomes through these devices.

One is a heater, the other an air conditioner. With the exact same input (electricity) these systems are able to change the environmental conditions in space they are placed, but both in completely different ways.

The mind and imagination both empower us to reach great heights within our tangible and physical world, as well as to fully explore the 'ether' and what it holds for us.

Don't ever lose your imagination, it is the freest part of your brain.

'The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination."

-Albert Einstein
