Without imagination we wouldn't be were we are today. Yet, imaginative people are looked at as immature, or a little odd, and the connotations that are attached to the word "artsy" are anything but complimentary. All through childhood, you are accused of daydreaming like it's a bad thing. Time and time again, fantasy and imagination is push further and further to the side until it is no more. I have learned, creativity is a gift that very few people have been given. I think it is a conspiracy amongst the populace, born of jealousy and envy, to squish that which they will never possess - the infinite world in which we (being the creative) live.
