Imagination

“Everything you can imagine is real” – Pablo Picasso So many books, movies, and paintings have come up from it: this great force that has sparked our life with beauty and chaos. Books have described the way we can and have become angels and demons at the same time, using it to destroy other worlds that are too busy searching for peace. Movies have awed and haunted us with images of technologies that seem to have arrived too early for us; destruction has been our hobby, since stone-age: only grooming and table etiquette that has changed from that remote period. Paintings have depicted pleasant and horrid images of Man’s true life and living: cave paintings are a good point to start on, before looking at Da Vinci’s work of art. Like a child who thinks he controls the world with a water-gun, we almost make the same kind of mistake, by using the force that has brought us to where we are, in creating a bigger gap than we need amongst ourselves, creating a valley where ideas of science and art fall, waiting for a Savior to save them; humanity as the vassal of art and science, becomes the Fallen.
