Imagination

As far as we know we are the only living species capable of imagine our future, rather than living it.

Is that somehow we developed this gift, or course to stop time in our heads and see if we can foresee it unfolding ... hoping for a better state.

Like going underwater...you know you cannot live there forever but you still try to do your best to taste the underwater world. Curiosity.

This addiction moved us into building tools to push forward our addiction..let's predict more.. let's see beyond Big Bang.. lets’s go further..

Now, many build tools to help us stay alive while seeing further to predict outcomes.

Maybe there is a balance here.. you cannot stay alive and see further without risks.. you cannot live without being born and being exposed to death..imagine you will see everything unfolding … next move will be paralysis, to compensate the energy spent into imagine the seeing .

So maybe our inborn ability of imagining is just as amazing as flying.. you cannot fly forever but the feeling of flying accompanies you while waking and gives you a higher perspective…just as our imagination.
