Unsurmountable Imagination

For those who believe imagination has no age understands the world as a canvas to the imagination. Reality often leaves a lot to the imagination. Just like our doyens say; imagination and fiction makes up more than quarter of our lives. I have a vivid imagination that reality of the people is of those who lack imagination. Will imagination and dream ever be the same? Probably not. Fantasy mirrors desire and imagination reshapes it. We grow by exercise and contrary to that is the common belief. Surely, power of imagination makes it infinite and unsurmountable.

How subtle is the difference between dream, imagination and assumption? We imagine two notes to synchronise. Does it happen? In reality, it overlaps. In an overture, we play the second note when the first one is half done. We imagine it. Imagination is a virtual state of mind whereas dream creates mental images and emotions ideally occurring during sleep. Assumption is the hypothesis often taken for granted. However vivid or lucid your dream is, it often has the grotesque side of it.

Once again, the series of mental images or emotions could be the resultant of imaginative thoughts. Did you get how imagination and dream could be? Yes, it is. Albeit distinctive from its own nature, both imagination and dream are quite lucid. Yet they generate lifelike images circling you back to where you were before. It could quite be your mental representation of thoughts or confusion of impressions.

To a certain nature, impressions get along quite well with imagination. Both deal with vague ideas in which confidence is placed. The resultant could be an outward appearance or could be a favourable mental image.

When you look at subtle difference between illusion and fallacy, illusions deals with erroneous mental representation whilst fallacy deals with misconception and incorrect reasoning. They are all different in nature. Do we represent them correctly when we connote them in separate scenarios? Maybe not. Finer distinctions are often misread.

When imagination is unrestricted or unsurmountable, it becomes fantasy. When your optimism and imagination is more, you are often less biased. This objective consideration helps in being fair and prevents preconception. Often times, we use our freewill and discretion to form opinions. Ideally, this should not be the case. Our opinions should be undistorted by emotion or personal bias.

There was this time when I started to think how imagination and beliefs have overlaid our lives. Do we sense it? Are they the realm of sense or occult? I do not know. Beliefs are the psychological result of perception, learning and reasoning. Not necessarily true in all sense. Religion for instance deals with belief of supernatural power that control human destiny. Religion believes in divine power whilst science believes on experiments and observation. A lot of illogical imagination or perception may occur without the intervention of science. Religion and morality are not one and the same. Morality is based on ideas of right and wrong, good and evil. Religion cannot ascertain faith without ethics thus giving room for imagination and perception.

In moral philosophy, we have moral values and rules. These rules in principle are regarded as normative but in my opinion, they are conventional. In the end, we live in the world of fantasy. We live in the world of deceit. We dissimulate our identity in many cases and live in disguise.

We camouflage, conceal, imagine, believe and misrepresent ourselves with an outward semblance. Ultimately, we all live in our own mental representation and our egocentric behaviour does not permit our perceptions to fall through. We call this mother wit. Be it or not.
