In my imagination I can be a world-class opera star or great actress or terrific athlete. In real life I am none of those things. Real life is based on that which is not IMAGINED. Imagination takes you to other places you could never access by any other means. So does creativity. Now there are certainly times when creativity exists in the real world. There are times when that which was IMAGINED becomes true and real and exists as well. But if it doesn't..if what you IMAGINE can only exist in that other place it is NEVER fake. To me. Now what other people think imagination is may be something entirely different. I cannot think like other people. I can only think like me. I don't know if that's good or not so hot but it is what is. SIGH
