Wishful thinking. What does it hurt? How is it useful? Don't you have to wishfully think in order to create/invent/imagine? How not?

We each create our own reality Talaniman. We comprehend/interpret what we experience based on a variety of things such as intellect/environment/experiences/prejudices. My reality and yours may intersect often but  they may also be running on a parallel track and never meet. In light of that imagination is more dependable than one's interpretation of reality. Peter Pan was imagined and I think those familiar with the boy who never wanted to grow up experience him exactly the same. Don'tcha think? Thank you for your reply! :)
