Not very often, yet, sometimes, when I drive, through the car radio, when I listen to the song written by the late John Lennon, ‘Imagine’, I feel so sad that the person who shot John Lennon, even though still he is in prison without parole, I never felt sorry for him. if he was still alive, John Lennon could have composed a lot of songs and a lot of peace activities, died.
His song starts as ‘Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try, no hell below us, above us, only sky. Imagine all the people living for today. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday, you'll join us and the world will be as one’.
He sang the song very simple way, without accompanying the band. Still, I felt awesome. If he had not that spot to get killed, his fate could have been different, and we could listen more frequently to his songs.
That is my imagination.
Imagination is very useful to society and people if we are properly organized, directed, and licensed.
My imagination is personal so, it is not dangerous or troublesome in society.
Yet, Mark David Chapman who killed John Lennon should have imagined after he killed John Lennon what will be happen to him.
Such a case had never happened to him, so his shot that was the death of John Lennon we felt this world is very dangerous to live in and in our society not enough to feel safe. To feel safe, the law put him in prison.
If David Chapman imagined common sense with a memory of what would happen after the shot, it should not happened. We are more or less capable of moving through time with common sense.
However, this society needs self-interest to motivate itself.
Like Elon Musk who controls the company, an electric vehicle manufacturer, to accomplish clean energy.
He dreamed about and chose the name Tesla came from Nikola Tesla, a long time ago, he dreamed about battery-operating the car yet, he could not successfully accomplish to manufacture the electric car, Elon Musk has now.
Not many years ago, Tesla was not a big company, but now that company has grown so much, GM and Ford's combined annual sales are less than Tesla's annual sales, especially among Californians who favored Tesla strongly.
Now the last couple of years, we had such terrible weather, it all came from the earth getting hotter, the pollution getting worse that all those bad elements caused strange weather that brought storms and hail.
Imagination is encouraged by the habit of imaging. Like for example, the New England State of Vermont is very famous for tall trees which are a couple of hundred years old and a very scenery place, yet, the storm hits the city, falling trees with hydro wire, all those things to rebuild cost a lot of money, so now the city will go for battery energy systems which most houses will have battery will produce their heating and for the car they replace electric from gasoline.
If even a few years ago, the city insisted that kind of energy system would be just a fantasy, now they have proved it.
The ability to imagine ourselves is extraordinary, especially his experience of discrimination and not getting treated properly from a society where he belongs that Martin Luther King Jr., brought the most famous speech in American history "I Have a Dream" made him march on Washington, making A call for equality and freedom, if he did not imagine himself before, it might never happen such events successfully.
What Drove the Imagination? by author John Ralston Saul, written in his book "On Equilibrium".
In good part curiosity yet, imagination is the key to the reality of responsible individualism.
The best imagines these conditions will be able to use his more ordinary skills and talents to win.
What are the talents of imagination itself? science, new ideas, poetry eloquence and memory, the grace of the mind, the fire of imagination, depth of thoughts, and all the gifts that Heaven Scatters at a venture.
Yet, too many strange imaginations are risking our lives and society. (The second week of October)
