Imagine

Imagine the world a beautiful place.

We are indeed living in the most wonderful place in the universe. Our planet is most abundant in life. We have unlimited supply of air, water, and space. If we come to realize, we only need those to survive. However, we as humans are given the gift of imagination.

We were once dwelling in the forests much like animals do. It is with our gift, we envision a much larger purpose. That is how the first men started communication. We started realizing that certain shapes of things can help us in many ways. Over time, more things are made with the creativity of our minds.

Perhaps the first men would have never imagined that humans can one day fly. It is through observation and relentless efforts of two humans that made flying become a reality. We have since built birds so large that hundreds of humans can travel in them. We have even expanded our mind to explore the space beyond this planet called home.

We have also realized that there are much more to explore within this home of ours. Beneath the oceans is a world of its own. A world that no humans have ever explored before the realization that wood can float on water. Having the imagination of a large vessel to travel far and beyond lands, humans have created whales that can stay afloat or submerge as we wish.

Every creation is made from the great minds. We adore them for being geniuses. We thank them for helping us live easier lives. Our world would never be the same without them. It is with great imagination that made everything we see today possible.

When life becomes easier, humans have more time for further imagination. We imagine the world as one. We work towards having everyone in unity. We created currency. We created differences. We created the model of life which is entirely different from the first men. We created the world we know today.

What do we understand about this world?

The moment we were born, we have been introduced to cultures and beliefs of our parents. They are the first humans we encounter in our lives. They teach us what is right. Has anyone ever questioned before if their parents are limiting their imagination?

I remember having the wildest imaginations. I imagined a clock that never needed winding. I imagined a portable phone with colourful screen. I imagined a television that can be used to play games. There have been many more imaginations as a child to which have all been made a reality now. Though I am not the creator but I am proud that my imagination came true in my lifetime.

Throughout my lifetime doing what everyone does, study then work, I realized that my imagination has been set aside. Time seems to be against me. All of my time has been spent wisely on studies and work. I have to stress on the word wisely because that is what I have been educated for.

Now that I have been working for the longest time I can remember, I come to realize that imagination is scarce. My mind seems to have been limited to the level that I can no longer comprehend. This gives me the creeps. As a human being, imagination is what keeps us alive. Without imagination, our lives will be dull and meaningless. It took me years to realize that my life is turning gray. I have a house but not a home. I have a life but not feeling alive.

I am thankful life is kind to me. Whatever happens always happens for a reason. That is my belief. I happen to love collecting books that I hardly read. I am glad that I have them at hand; books of motivation, books of self-improvement, books of life, and lots more. I now managed to find time to lift my imagination. This is the unlikeliest time but the best moment to invest in myself.

Everything we made in the name of science. Everything we have known is now known differently. Life as we know is no longer the same. Our imagination of an apocalypse is somewhat happening now. There is no doubt about that. Perhaps now is the right time to imagine our better lives, a life that we want.

 

Everything you can imagine is real.

Pablo Picasso, Artist, 1881-1973
