12-02-11 Imagine. This word will evoke things inside of you. It may be a song written by one of the greatest poets of our time. It may be a memory of being in class as a child and having the teacher tell you to close your eyes as they read you a story. No matter what is the case, ‘imagine’ is a great word. Think about it. We are able to create worlds that don’t exist, all within the confines of our mind. We are able to think about love, life, death. We can imagine telling people off, being like something that we are not, making that ex-boyfriend jealous. Your dreams could be something that inspires you. If your will is strong, you will break that fear that stops you from completing your dreams.
Imagine. What is it about that word? Why does it stir so much? Why do we see it and think that things may be possible? We will use this word in all kinds of daily activities. Everyday. This word will come to the forefront. Perhaps it is in a scenario that you are saying something like ‘imagine if I did that,’ then the rolling of the eyes would occur. Usually when you use this word it follows with a mental image that invades your mind, if even for a split second.
Mental image. Is this why we created a such a word? We needed to name this thing that we do in our heads so that others could relate. We have to create words for everything. Such curious creatures we humans are. Especially, us English speaking creatures. Our language consists of tens of thousands of words, and we are still adding more all the time. Labelling everything seems to be in our nature. We label our children when they are born. We label our animals when we have pets. We label everything. We just cannot conceive that things are the way they are, period. We have to intellectualize everything so we have an understanding of it all, what it all means. Still we leave ourselves with the great question of "Why?" We cannot answer that question. We cannot explain things that we do not understand. The empirical evidence needs to be right in front of us to determine the validity of the claims. Like the existence of God. Is God real? Does God Exist? Well, those questions will only be answered by each and every individual, because I cannot force my will on you, I cannot make you believe in what I do, it is up to you.
