Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~People with little imagination are actually happier because they are unable to imagine things being very much better. Therefore, they learn to simply be content with what they have.
~Perceived loss of alternatives is one of the greatest sources of regret and misery, which requires imagination.
~Option paralysis plagues people because they are overwhelmed with imagining all the things they are giving up in making any particular choice.
~You can’t keep your nose to the grindstone and your shoulder to the wheel when your head is in the clouds.
~Lust is highly dependent on imagination.
~If God created this world as it is, aren’t you rejecting His wisdom by imagining it otherwise?
~Make-believe is just a way of becoming gradually more and more frustrated with reality.
~No imagination, no fantasies. No fantasies, no frustration with failing to achieve that which is impossible.
~All this cultural investment in dreaming and in following your heart has made us a nation of idiots and fools.
~As Cinderella taught us, a dream is a wish your heart makes, and what is that but investing your heart in something God hasn’t seen fit to give you?
~A good basic definition of creativity is knowing how to effectively break the rules. Thus, by definition almost, creativity is anarchic.
