Imagine a world….
I am often asking people to imagine. Imagining is easy for me. It is easy for children. It is not always easy for grown-ups.
When do people begin to lose that kind of freedom? What builds the fences that lie between each human being and infinite possibilities?
I suppose it is necessary to have some boundaries. If I don’t know the difference between the edge of the table and the edge of my imagination, I can fall off and break my neck, but maybe the trick is to hang onto a few of those little scouts that discovered the edges.
That way some come back and say, “Uh oh! Table edge! Big boom! Stop!”
While others say, “Cliff ahead! Possible lost valley below! Adventure! Let’s go!”
Experience steps in and fleshes out the experience so that I can go forth and enjoy without maiming myself forever.
I suppose circumstances dictate how many scouts to kill and which ones go first. It probably depends on our caretakers and the safety of the world we live in as children, but once you are old enough to read this, you are old enough to take back some control.
You need to resurrect some of the more fun loving scouts and do away with the zombies; those walking dead scouts whose purpose no longer serves your needs. You know the ones, those guys who think if it doesn’t hurt it isn’t good and others like that.
Remember just because danger can lead to pain doesn’t mean pain leads to safety. It’s all about balance!
Imagine a world based on love, not fear.
