Imagination - Discuss.
It seems to me that some people have better imaginations than others. But is this really the case?
By 'Imagination', I mean they can make things up, picture new things or 'the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful' according to one online dictionary.
Are these imaginative people the 'arty' types that make good musicians, artists etc?
I have read that a good imagination needs certain areas of the brain to perform better than others, but I'm not sure that turning to science gives us the full picture.
Personally, I can safely say that I have little imagination, but without seeming to be too vain I am a good 'problem' which involves a lot of creative thinking to get the right outcome. It's just that I'm not able to 'switch on' imagination without some sort of stimulus e.g. something needs sorting out.
Many musicians have written their best songs whilst under the influence of drink or drugs, so it could be that they too need some sort of stimulus to get something new out of their system.
Anyway, I imagine my lunchbreak is now over, and I haven't even had a drink.
