From the mind of critic: “If we wanna escape what’s right in front of us because we don’t like what we see, is it the same as using our imagination to imagine something better? Do we escape with our imagination because what we see is so terrible, that we have to get our mind off it for our own physical well being? Do we escape because what we see isn’t neccesarily bad and actually can be quite good, but we wana keep postively evolving? Or do we use our imaginations to usher in hope, caring, tolerance, acceptance, accountability, humanism and badly needed love into a community, a system, a world that needs all it can get if it wants to survive long into the future? Ignorance is bred by ignoring for years what’s right in front of our face, and feeling threatened because we don’t know something, specifically because we ignored it for so long. This can cause us to escape, and want to picture a better world, one in which we’re infinitely happier. However, if our imagination is spurred by dark thoughts about what we don’t like, chances are our imagination will drive us toward picturing and then espousing a world that only benefits us, our inner circle, and people that think, look and act like us. At the same time, if our imagination is spuirred by light thoughts about what we do like, we will be driven toward creating a world that is loving, caring, satisfying and fulfilling for us. And specifically because this imaginative version of a new world came from a positive place, we feel so good we wanna share it with others, so they can experience it as well. Whether escaping our imagination or imagining our escape, or simply imagining a world where we no longer have to escape, as long as we come from collective uplift and not simply from self preservation, the outcome will be better than we ever imagined” 🙂
